Description
This scholarly examination explores the distinctive British history of blackface minstrelsy, a form of entertainment that profoundly shaped popular music, dance and theatrical performance in Britain. Unlike the extensive blackface studies available in the United States, this book fills a critical gap in British cultural scholarship by tracing the unique trajectory minstrelsy followed across the Atlantic. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, it offers historical study and cultural analysis of how minstrelsy functioned as a significant form of song, music and entertainment in British popular culture. The work examines the continual exchange of performers, troupes and companies between Britain and America, revealing how this transatlantic movement influenced the development of British popular music and performance traditions. Essential for musicologists, cultural historians and students seeking to understand the complex role of minstrelsy in shaping British entertainment and musical heritage.
