      The book explores the complex dynamics of gender in Victorian theatre, highlighting how women found empowerment and professional opportunities as actresses, playwrights, and managers, despite societal efforts to confine them to subordinate roles. It examines the portrayal of actresses as monstrous figures and the perception that playwriting was a male domain. Through a detailed chronicle of women's increasing involvement in theatre by the late nineteenth century, it sheds light on their significant contributions and the evolving landscape of gender and playwriting that influenced future generations.

      Inheritance
    • 'I love acting - it is so much more real than life,' Oscar Wilde famously wrote. Acting Wilde demonstrates that Wilde's plays, fiction, and critical theory are organised by the idea that all so-called 'reality' is a mode of performance, and that the 'meanings' of life are really the scripted elements of a dramatic spectacle. Wilde's real issue was whether one could become the author of his own script, the creator of the character and role he inhabits. It was a question he struggled to answer from the beginning of his career to the end, whether in his position as the pre-eminent dramatist in English or as the beleaguered defendant on trial for 'gross indecency'. Introducing important evidence from Wilde's career-launching tour of America, the often tortured revisions of his plays, and the recently discovered written record of his first courtroom trial, this book reconstructs Wilde's strategic dramatising of himself.
