Produktbeschreibung

This book presents Edwardian entertainment and the Edwardian entertainment industry as parts of a vital but troubled era whose preoccupations and paranoias mirror those of our own age. This book is the first to explore the complex relationship between theatre, fashion, and social in the late Victorian and early modern era.
