One of the most neglected areas of study in nineteenth-century theatre is pantomime: this book provides a comprehensive overview of pantomime in the Victorian period, ranging from the ideological positions perpetrated by pantomime to discussions of practitioners and enthusiastic spectators, such as E.L. Blanchard, Lewis Carroll and John Ruskin.

Industry Reviews

Not only of interest to theatre historians, [ Victorian Pantomime ] will also prove useful to students and scholars in the disciplines of Victorian studies, cultural studies, and popular entertainment.' - Simon Sladen, New Theatre Quarterly
