Kathleen Wilson reveals how the performance of English theater and a theatricalized way of viewing the world shaped the geopolitics and culture of empire in the long eighteenth century. Ranging across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans to encompass Kingston, Calcutta, Fort Marlborough, St. Helena and Port Jackson as well as London and provincial towns, she shows how Britons on the move transformed peripheries into historical stages where alternative collectivities were enacted, imagined and lived. Men and women of various ethnicities, classes and legal statuses produced and performed English theater in the world, helping to consolidate a national and imperial culture. The theater of empire also enabled non-British people to adapt or interpret English cultural traditions through their own performances, as Englishness also became a production of non-English peoples across the globe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 158mmItem Width: 31mmItem Weight: 870gAuthor: Kathleen WilsonGenre: HistoryBook Series: Critical Perspectives on EmpireTopic: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
