The Horror Plays of the English Restoration - Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama
Anne Hermanson
Tropes of monstrosity, madness, venereal disease, incest and atheism define a group of macabre plays which burst onto the London stage in the 1670s. Dubbed the 'horror' or the 'blood and torture villain tragedies' by modern critics, these deeply unsettling plays fascinated contemporary audiences.
