Distance, Theatre, and the Public Voice, 1750-1850 - Paperback

by M. Nuss (Author)

As theatres expanded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the distance between actor and audience became a telling metaphor for the distance emerging between writers and readers. Nuss explores the ways in which theatre helped authors imagine connecting with a new mass audience.
