This book chronicles the emergence of a national feeling in the
theatres of Northern and Eastern Europe from the mid-eighteenth to
the late nineteenth centuries. Using original documents and
sources, including architects' plans, royal edicts, censors'
reports, contemporary journalism, directors' blocking notes,
memoirs and letters, this volume provides a chronological
exploration of theatrical trends in eight countries. The documents
reveal that in Denmark, Sweden and Norway the gradual development
from royal patent houses and municipal theatres led to a genuinely
public and Scandinavian institution. In Poland, Hungary, Bohemia
and Romania, theatrical records reveal the evolution of distinctly
national repertoires and organizations removed from foreign
influences. Similar sources demonstrate that Russia pursued native
concepts of acting and playwriting after the retreat of Napoleon
that culminated in the foundation of the Moscow Art Theatre. The
volume contains numerous illustrations, the source location for
each document, and a substantial bibliography.
