Many nineteenth-century writers believed that the best tragedy should be read rather than performed, and they have often been attacked for their views by later critics. Through detailed analysis of Coleridge's Shakespearean Criticism, Lamb's On the Tragedies of Shakespeare, and Hazlitt's Characters of Shakespeare's Plays, Heller shows that in their concern with educating the reader these Romantics anticipate twentieth-century reader response criticism, educational theory, and film criticism.

"Heller gives readers much to think about and provides suggestive surveys of 19th-century thinking on such topics as education, stage spectacle, and the dynamic role of the reader in transforming the written word into a mental experience. The concentrated chapters on Lamb and Hazlitt are notably fresh."--Choice
"Heller's Coleridge, Lamb, Hazlitt, and the Reader of Drama is a good read and an essential read, for specialists and generalists alike."--Charles Lamb Bulletin
