Whereas previous scholarship has shown a strong bias towards male writers, especially Charles Dickens, this book innovatively brings woman-authored novels centre stage--literally and metaphorically. \u003cem\u003eTheatrical Afterlives: Nineteenth-Century Women's Novels on the Stage\u003c\/em\u003e examines the dramatic offspring of Jane Austen, the Brontës, Elizabeth Gaskell, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Ellen Wood, and George Eliot, through particular, and sometimes unexpected, theatrical lenses (e.g., prison drama, Irish theatre, suffrage drama). It prioritises the performance event--what \u003cem\u003eactually\u003c\/em\u003e happens onstage--through attention to a series of theatre ephemera, unpublished manuscript material, and specially commissioned interviews with practitioners. The book argues that the theatrical afterlives allegorize key socio-political debates and tensions of the past two hundred years, including the woman question, the Irish question, colonial legacies, and the #MeToo era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll these foci allow Marina Cano to investigate the dramatizations as expressions and affirmation of identities that have at one point been marginalized, while also enabling creative interconnections to emerge through the juxtaposition of novelists, plays, historical movements, and locations. The dramatizations, the book concludes, matter, not only for what they tell us about how woman-authored novels have been utilised, but also because these plays provide a fresh methodology to access and reread the novels themselves, and read them anew.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarina Cano, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor of English, University of Valencia\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarina Cano is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Valencia.
