Description

Explore the connection between historical conflict and the stage with Staging the Peninsular War: English Theatres 1807-1815. Published by Routledge, this work provides the first in-depth study of how English theatres handled the Peninsular campaign, spanning from Napoleon's 1807 invasion of Portugal to the final defeat at Waterloo. Author Susan Valladares places theatrical treatments of the war within the political and ideological framework of Romantic performance. This book examines how spectacle helped mediate the experience of war and looks at the connection between stage productions and print culture. Readers will learn how the popularity of theatre-going, combined with the improvisation and topicality found in drama, shaped the public's understanding of these historical events. This is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the history of performing arts and the cultural impact of the Napoleonic Wars.
