'This collection will be a landmark work across the disciplines of theatre studies, social and cultural history, and cultural studies broadly conceived.' Peter Bailey, Indiana University 'This welcome, and often entertaining, volume brings together a synergy often remarked on but seldom explored in a systematic way: politics and the theatre. Bringing together historians and theatre scholars, the editors are to be congratulated for producing a coherent and focused collection of essays, largely structured around the concept and practice of performance, which probe that relationship from both sides of the divide: the politics of theatre, and the theatrical nature of politics.' Matthew Roberts, Sheffield Hallam University, Parliamentary History, June 2019 'This book constitutes an argument for theatre history as a rigorous interdisciplinary form of study that can remake social history through attentiveness to the meanings of performance. For that reason, it deserves to have an impact beyond that of Victorian Studies. It also constitutes one of the most original works of political history for a long time.' Rohan McWilliam, Anglia Ruskin University, Social History 'The authors and editors have collectively enriched the study of politics and performance and helped to carry it forward.' Joseph S. Meisel, Brown University, Journal of Victorian Culture -- .
