Description

This comprehensive volume gathers essential eighteenth-century treatises on elocution, gesture, and naturalness that shaped theatrical practice during a transformative period in English drama. Drawing together rare and difficult-to-access texts, the book offers cultural historians and theatre scholars direct access to primary sources that illuminate how stagecraft was conceived and understood in the Georgian era. The collection reveals the intellectual foundations of acting theory when performers were transitioning from stylised convention to more naturalistic approaches. Whether you study theatre history, performance theory, or cultural history, this Routledge publication provides invaluable insight into the pedagogical and philosophical debates that defined professional acting between 1700 and 1830.
