Oxford Peter Lang 2015 viii, 272 pages : 23 cm. International conference proceedings. "The body of the "Other" -- exotic, unfamiliar, fascinating -- is the topic of this collection of essays on nineteenth-century British theatre. Arranged chronologically, the volume traces visual representations of the Other across the nineteenth century as well as their legacy in contemporary theatrical culture. Essays explore the concept, politics and aesthetic features of the "exotic" body on stage, be it the actual body of the actor or actress, or the fictional, "picturesque" bodies brought on stage. Far from focusing exclusively on the subaltern, colonial subject, this volume addresses the Other in its wider meaning, focusing on case studies as famous as Edwin Forrest and Ira Aldridge or as neglected as that of the Māori who appeared on the London stage in the 1860s. Written by an international group of scholars, this collection offers an informed, updated insight into the extensive and multifaceted presence of the non-British in both Georgian and Victorian drama, investigated through new lenses and materials to shed light on the complex engagement of nineteenth-century British culture with alterity."-- 1800-1899 fast 10612 Geschichte 1800-1900 gnd 10613 English drama 19th century History and criticism. 10614 Aliens in literature 19th century History and criticism. 10615 Minorities in literature 19th century History and criticism. 10616 Aliens in literature. fast 10617 British colonies. fast 10618 English drama. fast 7663 Literature. fast 10619 Minorities in literature. fast 10620 Englisch gnd 10621 Drama gnd 10622 Das Andere gnd 10623 Fremdheit gnd 10624 Great Britain Colonies In literature. 10625 Criticism, interpretation, etc. fast 10533 Konferenzschrift 2014 Oxford. gnd-content 10626 Morosetti, Tiziana, ed. 10627 9783035307771 (GyWOH)har160064617 Table of contents http://d-nb.info/107918385X/04 7 cbc copycat 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg ddc L 0 0 ddc 0 0 LEN MAIN MAIN LEN 2018-06-18 0 822.809384STA 39141 2018-06-18 00:00:00 2018-06-18 L
