Abstract
ABSTRACTLord Byron’s works were the most frequently performed among those of the most famous poets of British Romanticism. Marino Faliero was the only one of his plays to be performed during his own lifetime, but many of his narrative romances were adapted for the stage and were performed with great success: The Corsair, The Bride of Abydos, Mazeppa. After his death, several of his plays made it to the stage and were frequently revived: Manfred, Werner, The Two Foscari, and Sardanapalus. The stage adaptations of Lady Carolyn Lamb’s Glenarvon and John Polidori’s The Vampire made the most of stage impersonations. This essay surveys the theatrical versions of the scandal-ridden “Byronic Hero.”
