Description

This is a study of popular theatre and its impact on post-reform and pre-Revolutionary Russia. After the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, educated Russians began to present plays as part of a crusade to ""civilise"" the peasants. Relying on archival and published material virtually unknown outside Russia, this study looks at how playwrights criticised current Russian social and political realities, how various groups perceived their plays, and how the plays motivated viewers to change themselves or change their circumstances. The picture that emerges is of a potent civic art rooted in the traditions of the Greek polis, where it had first appeared influential in a way that eluded and challenged authoritarian control. Review "Frequently disowned in the Russian twentieth century as a tool of imperial oppression, the popular theatre movement now claims an honoured place in theatrical culture, and thanks in no small measure to Thurston's work." -- Slavonic and East European Review "... a detailed discussion of the history of this under-studied branch of Russian theatre." -- Slavic and East European Journal "Gary Thurston's new study of popular theater in Russia during the late imperial period reminds us how powerful a civilizing force theater can be." -- Slavic Review "Thurston's book not only illuminates an interesting aspect of imperial Russian cultural history; it can also be read as an introduction to popular theater under the Soviet regime." -- Journal of Modern History "This is a passionate book from which scholars can learn much about the histoiy of Russian theater, the popular education movement, and the constitution of Russian society in the last half century of the old regime." -- American Historical Review
