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


Authors

Kate Mattacks



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.
