Time in Romantic Theatre

Meer over het boek

The exploration of temporal modalities in Romantic Theatre reveals significant shifts driven by both internal and external factors. Playwrights broke free from the constraints of "Unity of Time," while societal changes due to the industrial revolution intensified the importance of time in daily life. This monograph highlights how Romantic theatre mirrored these changes, emphasizing time's role in drama and encouraging a fresh examination of its function and experimentation during the early nineteenth century.
