This is the first in-depth study of the theatrical afterlives of nineteenth-century women novelists. Whereas previous scholarship has shown a strong bias towards male writers, especially Charles Dickens, this book innovatively brings woman-authored novels centre stage.\u00a0Theatrical Afterlives: Nineteenth-Century Women\u2019s Novels on\u00a0the Stage\u00a0<\/em>examines the dramatic offspring of Jane Austen, the Bront\u00ebs, Elizabeth Gaskell, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Ellen Wood and George Eliot, through particular, and sometimes unexpected, theatrical lenses (e.g., prison drama, Irish theatre, suffrage drama). In so doing, the book provides a new way of doing literary history of the nineteenth century and allows us to read the novels afresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
