Regulatory bodies: Dramatic creativity, control and the commodity of Lady Audley's Secret

Abstract
This article investigates how the playwrights of the Victorian era creatively exploited the loopholes in copyright and licensing laws. I argue that in depicting the heroine Lady Audley's bodily display, they themselves engage with the issues of regulatory control and freedom.
