Description

Explore the evolution of theatrical apparel with Modernizing Costume Design, 1820-1920 from the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series. In this work, Annie Holt examines how contemporary Euro-American costume design practices took shape. She traces the historical shift where costumes became an integrated part of dramaturgy instead of just a reflection of a performer's status or personal taste. This book analyzes the specific period between 1820 and 1920, a time when the functions of clothing and costume began to diverge as part of the broader modernist movement. Holt explains how onstage apparel transformed into a semiotic tool, creating a new channel for information to flow between the performer, the literary text, and the audience. This text provides a deep look into how costume design became a specialized element of theatrical storytelling and communication.
