Publicity and the Early Modern Stage - People Made Public (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)

What did publicity look like before the eighteenth century? What were its uses and effects, and around whom was it organized? The essays in this collection ask these questions of early modern London. Together, they argue that commercial theater was a vital engine in celebrity's production. The men and women associated with playing-not just actors and authors, but playgoers, characters, and the extraordinary local figures adjunct to playhouse productions-introduced new ways of thinking about the function and meaning of fame in the period; about the networks of communication through which it spread; and about theatrical publics. Drawing on the insights of Habermasean public sphere theory and on the interdisciplinary field of celebrity studies, Publicity and the Early Modern Stage introduces a new and comprehensive look at early modern theories and experiences of publicity.
