Description

In Actresses as Working Women: Their Social Identity in Victorian Culture, Tracy C. Davis explores the real-world conditions of actresses during the Victorian era. Using historical evidence and personal accounts, this Routledge publication examines the working environments, employment patterns, and the reasons behind the popularity and insecurity of the acting profession. This study is grounded in Marxist and feminist theory to analyze how women were represented on stage and the meanings generated by those performances. Davis provides a broad research spectrum that includes not only famous names from the era but also the working women of low rank. This book offers a deep look into the social identity of performers within the Gender in Performance series.
