Running in the Shadows: Revisiting In the Shadows of Romance: Romantic Tragic Drama in Germany, England, and France

This essay reflects on In the Shadows of Romance: Romantic Tragic Drama in Germany, England, and France (1987), revisiting its genesis, aims, and accomplishments. The book appeared at a time when little attention was paid to Romantic drama, and it thus focused widely on drama in three national traditions. While Romanticists have subsequently made great strides in recovering, interpreting, and even staging dramatic texts, we can still do more to put Romantic-era literary drama in conversation with the theater of the day.
