Celebrity, Performance, Reception: British Georgian Drama as Social Assemblage

This work provides a novel and transdisciplinary transposition of the developing field of social assemblage theory from the social sciences into British Georgian theatre history. The book’s foundational proposition is that performance location is expressive and embodies drama’s cultural meaning. Building on this foundation, it offers an advanced and complex thesis on the social connections and cultural contexts of the material, through an original analytical methodology which is rigorously applied to a very substantial range of archival sources, including financial documents. Research conducted for this volume was, in this manner, considerably in excess of that associated with standard monograph production.
