Banned, marginalised, tolerated or neglected, puppets were a major
form of entertainment of the subordinate classes in the nineteenth
century. Showmen travelled from one end of Europe to the other
bringing everything from biblical plays to melodramas and variety
to audiences who experienced them as their only form of dramatic
entertainment. The first study of its kind in English, Popular
Puppet Theatre in Europe is less a history than a comparative
study, highlighting a significant aspect of social and cultural
history from a national and transnational perspective. It examines
the showmen, their audiences, the performance context, and the
technical and practical aspects of the puppets and their stages.
