Under the 1737 Licensing Act, Covent Garden, Drury Lane and regional Theatres Royal held a monopoly on the dramatic canon. Excluded from polite dramatic discourse, non-patent theatres produced harlequinades, melodrama, pantomimes and spectacles. Worrall argues that this illegitimate stage was the site for a plebeian Enlightenment. Discussions about natural and civil rights, voyage and discovery, and Britain's relationship with other cultures were relentlessly enacted."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a English drama $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Enlightenment $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Ethnicity in literature. 650 0 $a Culture in literature. 650 0 $a Aliens in literature. 830 0 $a Enlightenment world. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106054950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2715644CCDC11E29536ECE2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
