W.S. Gilbert's Theatrical Criticism
The criticism collected here, first published in the comic weekly Fun, is often written in the form of dramatic spoofs. It is placed in context with a discussion of the milieu in which Gilbert worked.
While furthering the reader's knowledge of his work and chronicling the mid-Victorian stage its immediate effect will surely be to make the reader laugh.
