Description

This is the third volume to be published in the series Theatre in Europe.

This book makes available for the first time an overview of a significant segment of European theatre history and, with few exceptions, none of the documents presented have been published in English before.

Gathered from a rich variety of sources, including imperial and municipal edicts, contracts, architectural descriptions, playbills, stage directions and actors' memoirs among others, the book sheds light on one of the most fascinating areas of cultural life in the German- and Dutch-speaking countries.

Explanatory passages put these documents into their historical context, and numerous illustrations bring the material even more vividly to life.

Also included is the source location for each document and a substantial bibliography.
