- Melodrama has had many lives. As a theatrical genre in the 19th century, it dominated the popular European stages. In film, it surfaced as historical costume drama in the UK in the 1940s ("Gainsborough melodramas") and in Douglas Sirk's domestic Hollywood melodramas of the 1950s, but it also inflected British Social Problem and New-Wave films and hardboiled-detective fictions (and was arguably one of the most important elements in Nicolas Cage's action films of the 1990s). Melodrama may have owed much of its success to the fact that it continues to question and transcend traditional generic categories. As a modality, it traverses genres and media and works at sensitive cultural and aesthetic boundaries (Gledhill). As a mode of expression, both artistic and political, it is a crucial feature of modernity. This seminar will look at the various incarnations of melodrama in the 19th and 20th century, with a focus on plays, and films.
