The 19th century ushered in an unprecedented boom in technology,
the unification of European nations, the building of global empires
and stabilization of the middle classes. The theatre of the era
reflected these significant developments as well as helped to
catalyse them. Populist theatre and purposebuilt playhouses
flourished in the ever-growing urban and cosmopolitan centres of
Europe and in expanding global networks. This volume provides a
comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the cultural
history of theatre from 1800 to 1920. Highly illustrated with 51
images, the ten chapters each take a different theme as their
focus: institutional frameworks; social functions; sexuality and
gender; the environment of theatre; circulation; interpretations;
communities of production; repertoire and genres; technologies of
performance; and knowledge transmission.
