Description

Explore the origins of theatre historiography in this revisionist study from Cambridge University Press. Richard Schoch traces the development of British theatre history from the Restoration period to its establishment as a formal academic discipline in the early twentieth century. This work reclaims the deep history of the field by examining the contributions of antiquarians, booksellers, bibliographers, journalists, and theatrical insiders. While these individuals did not view themselves as professional historians, their scholarship remains fundamental to understanding the subject. Through deep archival research and close readings of historical texts, this book provides a comprehensive look at how the study of the British stage was built and shaped over centuries.
