Jane Eyre on Stage, 1848-1898 by Patsy Stoneman
Between 1847 and 1900, at least eight different stage versions of Jane Eyre appeared in England, America and continental Europe. For the first time, all eight plays are available in Patsy Stoneman's fully annotated and richly illustrated critical edition. Attentive to contemporary debates on class and gender, Jane Eyre on Stage will appeal to readers interested in literary and theatrical history, cultural studies, and the intriguing afterlives of famous books.-

'This excellent volume makes available a group of fascinating and hitherto unexplored texts and presents them according to the highest standards of scholarshipIt will be an invaluable resource for theatre scholars, Brontë specialists, and those interested in the afterlife of canonical works of literature'. Heather Glen, University of Cambridge, UK ’...a carefully researched book...Everything is presented [...] with the highest standards of scholarship...a fascinating account of the history of the 'popular' theatre of the late nineteenth century (especially in London) in general and of how Jane Eyre was perceived and assimilated by Victorian society in particular...studiously researched and interesting.' BrontëBlog ’... Patsy Stoneman has produced a useful and illuminating study... If for no other reason, this book would be welcome simply as an accessible version of plays that exist only in manuscript in the British Library [...] or in fairly rare acting editions... These richly rewarding texts have been edited well by Stoneman, with some thoughtful notes on Victorian melodrama in general and specific theatres in particular.’ Times Literary Supplement ’Stoneman is one of the few academics to have written on the subject of adaptations of the Brontë's novels, and her latest work is, as usual, meticulously researched, as well as thought provoking in its analyses... It provides a fascinating read, even for those who are not serious scholars of the subject, and, for those who are, it will be a very welcome addition to the field.’ Brontë Studies ’This important volume is an indispensable resource for scholars interested in Jane Eyre, Victorian melodrama, theatrical adaptation, or nineteenth-century popular culture.’ Nineteenth Century Studies
Patsy Stoneman is Emeritus Reader in English at the University of Hull, UK. Her work on the Brontës includes her monograph Brontë Transformations (1996), commissioned articles, and Wuthering Heights: A Reader's Guide to Essential Criticism (2000).
