This collection brings together studies of popular performance and
politics across the nineteenth century, offering a fresh
perspective from an archivally grounded research base. It works
with the concept that politics is performative and performance is
political. The book is organised into three parts in dialogue
regarding specific approaches to popular performance and politics.
Part I offers a series of conceptual studies using popular culture
as an analytical category for social and political history. Part II
explores the ways that performance represents and constructs
contemporary ideologies of race, nation and empire. Part III
investigates the performance techniques of specific politicians -
including Robert Peel, Keir Hardie and Henry Hyndman - and analyses
the performative elements of collective movements. -- .
