  The plays of Edwardian England are usually thought of as representing a low point of English drama. Incurious, uninventive, decorously skirting whatever issues they pretend to raise. In this study of Edwardian drama, the author challenges many of the familiar assumptions and shows that the plays of Edwardian England do not, in fact, represent a low point of drama. He looks at the work of Pinero, Jones, Granville, Barker and Shaw.
