Böcker av Marlis Schweitzer

Traces the theatrical repertoire of a small group of white Anglo-American actresses as they reshaped the meanings of girlhood in Britain, North America, and the British West Indies during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Through historical analysis and dozens of early photographs and illustrations, Marlis Schweitzer aims a spotlight on the cultural and economic convergence of the theater and fashion industries in the United States.

This book rethinks historical and contemporary theatre, performance, and cultural events by scrutinizing and theorizing the objects and things that activate stages, venues, environments, and archives.
