This volume contains a wealth of contextual materials, including contemporary reviews, portraits, advertisements and cast lists. By privileging performance over publication, this collection aims to encourage an understanding of print as material object as well as theatrical medium, emphasising the immediacy - and changeability - of theatre during the long eighteenth century. Offering an invaluable insight into the performance culture of the long eighteenth century, The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Performance is a unique, much-needed resource for students of theatre" - Verlag |
