Putting on plays was no longer an end in itself, but the creation of imaginary worlds had to be justified on ethical, sociological, political, as well as aesthetic grounds. It is also a period that still affects every aspect of play-making today. With few exceptions, the documents from France, Germany, Russia, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain are unavailable to an English-reading public and many are out of print (or unpublished) in their original language. The volume contains numerous illustrations, the source location for each document and substantial bibliography.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of documents\u003cbr\u003e General editors' preface\u003cbr\u003e Note on Cyrillic-Roman translation\u003cbr\u003e General introduction\u003cbr\u003e France, 1851–1916 John McCormick and Claude Schumacher\u003cbr\u003e Germany, 1850–1916 Michael Patterson\u003cbr\u003e Russia, 1843–1916 Laurence Senelick\u003cbr\u003e Scandinavia, 1849–1912 Inga-Stina Ewbank\u003cbr\u003e England, 1850–1905 Louis James and Marion O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e Italy, 1868–1919 Laura Richards\u003cbr\u003e Iberian Peninsula, 1884–1913 David George\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Theatre studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Theatre studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Theatre%20studies%20%5BAN%5D%22\"\u003eAN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004793114904,"sku":"9780521100793","price":41.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521100793i_6f0a84b7-b2c0-409e-a25f-e3794dd75936.jpg?v=1694970743","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/naturalism-and-symbolism-in-european-theatre-1850-1918-paperback-9780521100793","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
