English Romanticism has long been considered an 'undramatic' and 'anti-theatrical' age, yet Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats all wrote plays. In the Theatre of Romanticism analyses these (and especially Coleridge's) plays, in the context of London theatre at the time, focusing on their constructions of women and nationhood.
