项目摘要

"A Study of the development of theatrical devices for the nineteenth century British drama" has been done as a continuation of a similar study which was carried out in the years 1998 and 1999. In this study I have researched how the industrial revolution influenced theatre-building, auditorium-planning, and lighting the stage. So far I have pointed out the following three points : the use of steel for constructing a theatre made more capacity in it possible ; the structural change in a theatre led to a substantial change in its audience ; gas light and electric light made the audience prefer darkness to light during the performance, thus letting them concentrate only on the stage, not on the auditorium. After these major or minor alterations were completed, the taste of the audience proved to be quite different between classes and finally split them into three categories : the higher audience prefering "legitimate drama", the lower one prefering "melodrama and spectacle" and the middle prefering both and also "music hall".I include three articles in my research paper and try to explain the steps by which the Victorian theatrical devices were developed and improved. In the first article I sum up the information I have acquired and show a general idea of victorian theatre business. In the second one the discussion is focused on the renovation of theatre-building and the new lighting devices. The last one deals with a play which was made a success by the introduction of electric light into its performance. I humbly admit that I may have left numerous mistakes or ambiguous descrption which I hope I could correct in the near future, when I am to publish a full-volume book on this theme.

《十九世纪英国戏剧的戏剧设备发展研究》是在1998年和1999年进行的类似研究的继续。在这项研究中，我研究了工业革命如何影响剧院建设、观众席规划和舞台照明。到目前为止，我已经指出了以下三点：用钢建造剧院使其能够容纳更多的人；剧院的结构变化导致观众的实质性变化；煤气灯和电灯使观众在演出时更喜欢黑暗而不是灯光，从而使他们只专注于舞台，而不是观众席。在这些或大或小的改动完成后，观众的品味在不同的阶层之间被证明是相当不同的，并最终将他们分成三类：较高的观众更喜欢“正剧”，较低的观众更喜欢“情节剧和奇观”，中间的观众更喜欢两者，还有“音乐厅”。我的研究论文中包括三篇文章，试图解释维多利亚时代戏剧装置的发展和改进的步骤。在第一篇文章中，我总结了我所获得的信息，并展示了维多利亚时代戏剧行业的大体概念。在第二次讨论中，重点讨论了剧院建筑的翻新和新的照明设备。最后一部是关于一部通过在表演中引入电灯而获得成功的戏剧。我谦虚地承认，我可能留下了许多错误或模棱两可的描述，我希望在不久的将来，当我要出版一本关于这个主题的全书时，我可以纠正这些错误或模棱两可的描述。
