Description

The Routledge Pantomime Reader 1800-1900 is a comprehensive anthology documenting this distinctive entertainment genre in nineteenth-century Britain. Over ten shows, readers witness pantomime's evolution from improvisational clowning and dance to a complex blend of physical comedy, stage wizardry, and satire.

This collection brings together well-known tales like "Cinderella" and "Aladdin", alongside lesser-known plotlines such as "Peter Wilkins". The book provides a unique perspective on the history of sexuality, class, and race during a period of significant social change in Britain. With carefully annotated scripts, detailed introductions to each pantomime, and supplementary materials like reviews and visual aids, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating genre.
