Description

Routledge's comprehensive social history examines British performance cultures during the early twentieth century, a transformative era shaped by dynamic theatrical and film industries. This scholarly work explores how stage and screen performance evolved during a period marked by wars, social upheaval and political uncertainty. Drawing on rich primary sources including autobiographies, fan magazines, trade journals and archival materials, the book analyses the popular material cultures that defined this crucial period. Author Maggie B. Gale investigates the social dimensions of performance, citizenship and surveillance, offering fresh perspectives on how performance shaped British society between 1900 and 1939. The study bridges theatre and cinema history, demonstrating how these entertainment industries both reflected and influenced broader cultural anxieties and social transformations of the interwar decades.

Key Features

Draws extensively on primary sources including autobiographies, fan magazines, trade journals and archival materials to document performance cultures from 1900-1939.

Examines themes of citizenship, surveillance and the body as central to understanding British performance during this era of social unrest and political uncertainty.
