The Cambridge Companion to the Circus provides a complete guide for
students, scholars, teachers, researchers, and practitioners who
are seeking perspectives on the foundations and evolution of the
modern circus, the contemporary extent of circus studies, and the
specialised literature available to support further enquiries. The
volume brings together an international group of established and
emerging scholars working across the multi-disciplinary domain of
circus studies to present a clear overview of the specialised
histories, aesthetics and distinctive performances of the modern
circus. In sixteen commissioned essays, it covers the origins in
commercial equestrian performance during the late-eighteenth
century to contemporary inflections of circus arts in major
international festivals, educational environments, and social
justice settings.
