- This book of 472 pages draws on an extended period of research into the role of the theatre in mediating the Peninsular War for British audiences. Based on original archival research which recovers details of the staging, performance and reception of plays by well- and lesser-known playwrights, it opens up a new perspective on early nineteenth-century social and cultural history, including calendars of productions at Covent Garden, Drury Lane and Bristol Theatre Royal for the first time. The theatrical treatment of the war is analysed in terms both of public constructions and the political and ideological axes of Romantic performance.
