Bøger af Emily Hodgson Anderson

Looking at developments in eighteenth-century drama that influenced the rise of the novel, this work begins by asking why women writers of this period experimented so frequently with both novels and plays.

How do we recapture, or hold on to, the live performances we most love, and the artists and performers we most revere? Shakespeare and the Legacy of Loss tells the story of how 18th-century actors, novelists, and artists, key among them David Garrick, struggled with these questions through their reenactments of Shakespearean plays.
