About this title

Synopsis

A daring exploration of marriage and social class, Alan's Wife stands as a bold testament to the power of Victorian drama. First brought to life at the Independent Theatre in London, this three-act play by Lady Florence Eveleen Eleanore Bell and Elizabeth probes the complexities of love, duty, and societal expectation in the late 19th century. Its taut structure and emotional clarity make it a masterful study in theatrical performance and the shifting dynamics between men and women within the confines of Victorian society. Every scene pulses with the tension of its era. Nothing feels safe. Steeped in the traditions of classic British plays and echoing the influence of Elizabethan theatre, Alan's Wife is more than a period piece. It is a pointed social class critique, a work that interrogates the roles imposed by birth and circumstance, and a vital entry in the dramatic literature collection of the Victorian era. The play's nuanced portrayal of marriage and its subtle challenge to established norms mark it as a significant contribution to both British theatre and the ongoing conversation about gender and class. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Perfect for those drawn to Victorian era literature, the legacy of Lady Florence Bell, or the enduring intrigue of independent theatre, Alan's Wife remains a cultural treasure waiting to be rediscovered.
