Description

Explore the historical connection between scientific discovery and the performing arts with Performance and Evolution in the Age of Darwin: Out of the Natural Order. Published by Routledge, this work examines how major evolutionary themes influenced theatre and variety shows between 1830 and 1900. While scientists studied the laws of nature, the entertainment industry focused on things that challenged the natural order. This book looks at how the burgeoning variety theatre movement used subjects like missing links, throwbacks, and exotic races to captivate audiences. It provides a deep look into how popular theatre forms reflected the changing scientific understanding of the world during Darwin's lifetime and the generation that followed. This text is a valuable resource for those studying the history of theatre, stagecraft, and the social impact of scientific theories. It connects the evolution of biological thought to the evolution of popular entertainment, offering a unique perspective on how science and show business moved together during a formative era of human history.
