Romanticism and Theatrical Experience
«'The value of (this book) is in its meticulous historicism, and its careful attention to the rarely acknowledged role of theatre and theatrical affairs in the lives of its authors.' Chris Townsend, Times Literary Supplement»
Bringing together studies in theater history, print culture, and literature, this book offers a new consideration of Romantic-period writing in Britain. Recovering a wide range of theatrical criticism from newspapers and periodicals, some of it overlooked since its original publication in Regency London, Jonathan Mulrooney explores new contexts for the work of the actor Edmund Kean, essayist William Hazlitt, and poet John Keats.

«'Mulrooney makes a valuable contribution to Romantic-period studies through his sustained attention to the ways in which public and private experiences were transformed by both print and performance … This is a beautifully written and important book.' Susan Valladares, The Review of English Studies»
«'This truly important book - generous in its acknowledgment of other scholars and energizing in its vivid, sharp, entertaining style - expands our sense of Romantic era theater and print culture, advances our sense of Cockneyism in the period, and offers fresh, powerful accounts of Haz-litt and Keats.'
