Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]the Last Days is less about nineteenth-century English bourgeois Christianity than about providentialism, a more ancient, enduring, and resilient idea. [...]most performances were not plays in the modern sense. [...]1843, only Covent Garden, Drury Lane, and in the summer, the Haymarket, were "Theatres Royal" with the exclusive right to produce "spoken drama." Photogravure meant that illustrations, notably those by Franz Kirchbach, could be imported from Germany where the technology was at its most advanced. [...]the very end of the century no image copying technology could economically use colour in mainstream books. Buckstone's play at the Adelphi for example ran for 64 nights (Daly 275), Medina's play (actually Buckstone's) for a record 29 initial performances at the Bowery Theatre, New York (Bigsby and Wilmeth 1: 75). [...]the 1860s, neither legislation nor case law protected novels from being dramatised.
