| Research Abstract |
The study has made it clear that Victorian fiction and the popular theatre were at the culmination of the development of cultural history from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century by elucidating the profoundly dynamic correlations between the two genres. The origins of the Victorian popular theatre have been found to be in the morality plays and citizen drama of the English Renaissance. The rapid rise of commercial capitalism since the mid-sixteenth century has brought about the rise of the city merchants and their literature which finally crystallized as the English novel.
