Restoration Theatre and Crisis is a seminal study of the drama of the Restoration; in particular that of the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis. This was the time of unprecedented political partisanship in the theatre. This book considers all the known plays of this period; including works by Dryden and Behn; in their historical context. It examines the complex ways in which the drama both reflected and intervened in the political process; at a time when the crisis fractured an already fragile post-interregnum consensus; and modern party political methods first began to develop.
