Exploring an era book-ended by wars and troubled by social unrest and political uncertainty, A Social History of British Performance Cultures 1900-39 makes use of the popular material cultures produced by and for the industries - autobiographies, fan magazines and trade journals, as well as archival holdings, popular sketches, plays and performances. Maggie B. Gale looks at how the performance industries operated, circulated their products and self-regulated their professional activities, in a period where enfranchisement, democratization, technological development and legislation shaped the experience of citizenship. Through close examination of material evidence and a theoretical underpinning, this book shows how performance industries reflected and challenged this experience, and explored the ways in which we construct our 'performance' as participants in the public realm. Suited not only to scholars and students of British theatre and theatre history, but to general readers as well, A Social History of British Performance Cultures 1900-39 offers an original intervention into the construction of British theatre and performance histories, offering new readings of the relationship between the material cultures of performance, the social, professional and civic contexts from which they arise, and on which they reflect"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Theater $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071344 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Theater and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149315 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gale, Maggie B.
