Playing Out the Empire: Ben-Hur and Other Toga Plays and Films, 1883-1908. A Critical Anthology

A collection of the most important playscripts and film scenarios of the "toga play", a genre of theatrical melodrama which flourished in the late-19th century and which re-emerged in silent cinema, and later in Hollywood "epics". The book casts new light on Victorian social and cultural history.
