- This monograph deploys extensive primary source material to explore one of the most successful, but largely overlooked, comedies on the London stage in the nineteenth century. Using a wide range of archives and primary sources including Hansard, the Victoria and Albert Theatre Museum, the John Johnson Collection in Oxford and theatre records in Europe, North America and Australia, it examines how the text and characters of a single play became a global phenomenon in the print era. The drama’s themes of the attraction and vulnerability of privacy are shown to mark the commencement of modern debates about the subject.
