Emerging from the lively counter-culture of this protest campaign for democratic rights, these plays challenged cultural as well as political hierarchies by adapting such recognisable genres as melodrama, history plays, and tragedy for performance in radically new settings. They include poet-activist John Watkins's John Frost, which dramatises the gripping events of the Newport rising, in which 22 Chartists lost their lives in what was probably a misfired attempt to spark a nationwide rebellion. Gregory Vargo's introduction and notes elucidate the previously unexplored world of Chartist dramatic culture, a context that promises to reshape what we know about early Victorian popular politics and theatre. 650 0 $a English drama $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Chartism in literature. 650 7 $a Chartism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00852542 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 700 1 $a Vargo, Gregory, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=974EB4DA403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
