Excerpt from The Extravaganzas of J. R. Planche, Esq., Vol. 5: Somerset Herald; 1825 1871 There really appears no necessity for me to say a word about this Easter piece in the way of preface. Obviously the result of the great success of "Buckstone's Ascent of Mount Parnassus," the illusions in it to the Crimean War and the French alliance must be perfectly clear to all but the very youngest of my readers, and it is only some half dozen references to the popular dramas and exhibitions of that day that will require a foot-note in explanation. I have here, therefore, only to express my regret that this was the last extravaganza in which I had the pleasure and advantage of the support of Mrs. Fitzwilliam. She died on the nth September following. I have known few in the profession possessing such talent so free from all selfishness, petty jealousy, and other foibles which are deplorably prevalent in it, and are too often found intermingled with the greatest genius. For two seasons Mrs. Fitzwilliam directed the stage business of the Haymarket Theatre, and I have the most agreeable recollection of her genial, conciliatory manner, and the strict order which she maintained without the least fussy display of authority.

Central to all post-Renaissance scholarship, textual studies continues to evolve, both in its techniques and methods as well as in the illumination it affords all other areas of modern knowledge. The life of our fellow human beings, and how we know and tell lives, is one such area of modern knowledge that is foundationally affected by theories and practices of textual creation, transmission, and apprehension. This collection of new essays and studies by internationally acclaimed scholars, along with a select few who are less acclaimed but of distinct promise, provides a view into the contemporary state of scholarship in textual and biographical studies. The collection also means to be of especial interest to scholars of the British eighteenth century, by concentrating its evidence and argument on topics and subjects important to contemporary eighteenth-century studies. The volume is inspired by the extensive contributions to the fields by the late O M Brack, Jr.

Of all the theatrical genres most prized by the Victorians, pantomime is the only one to have survived continuously into the twenty-first century. It remains as true today as it was in the 1830s, that a visit to the pantomime constitutes the first theatrical experience of most children and now, as then, a successful pantomime season is the key to the financial health of most theatres. Everyone went to the pantomime, from Queen Victoria and the royal family to the humblest of her subjects. It appealed equally to West End and East End, to London and the provinces, to both sexes and all ages. Many Victorian luminaries were devotees of the pantomime, notably among them John Ruskin, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll and W.E. Gladstone. In this vivid and evocative account of the Victorian pantomime, Jeffrey Richards examines the potent combination of slapstick, spectacle and subversion that ensured the enduring popularity of the form. The secret of its success, he argues, was its continual evolution. It acted as an accurate cultural barometer of its times, directly reflecting current attitudes, beliefs and preoccupations, and it kept up a flow of instantly recognisable topical allusions to political rows, fashion fads, technological triumphs, wars and revolutions, and society scandals. Richards assesses throughout the contribution of writers, producers, designers and stars to the success of the pantomime in its golden age. This book is a treat as rich and appetizing as turkey, mince pies and plum pudding.
