Heritage, nostalgia and modern British theatre: staging the Victorians

The stage portrayal of the Victorians in recent times is a key reference point in understanding notions of Britishness, and the profound politicisation of that debate over the last four decades. This book throws new light on works bycanonical playwrights like Bond, Edgar, and Churchill, linking theatre to thewider culture at large.
