  • Although Dion Boucicault (1819–1890), the versatile and prolific English‐American playwright, is noted for the sensational action of his plots, his contemporaries also admired the characters in his plays for their distinctiveness and color. This essay explores aspects of Boucicault's theory and method of dramatic characterization as revealed in his published essays.
