new Publication out on “Circulation. Theatrical Mobility and its Professionalization” (Bloomsbury)

Edited by Tracy C. Davis and Christopher B. Balme, this new Cultural History of Theatre series offers an insightful survey from ancient times (500 BCE) to the present. The set of six volumes covers a span of 2,500 years, tracing the complexity of the interactions between theatre and culture. Jointly with japanologist Stanca Scholz-Cionca, I contributed a chapter on “Circulation. Theatre Mobility and its Professionalization in the Nineteenth Century,” which is part of the series’ volume no. 5, “A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Empire (1800-1920)”, edited by Peter W. Marx.
