Call for Papers
We welcome contributions on all aspects and forms of theatrical practice in – or related to – nineteenth-century London, from plays and operas to pantomime and puppetry. The ‘London stage’ should be interpreted as inclusively as possible, including such topics as criticism, dance, scenography, genre, theatrical technology, colonial politics, and the staging of the natural environment. Papers on sources, collections, and theatrical materials are also sought.
Those wishing to submit abstracts (200 words) and a biography (150 words) should do so to Jacqui Julier by 8 December 2024.
The panel for paper selection will be Michael Burden (Oxford), Jonathan Hicks (Aberdeen), Kate Newey (Exeter), Susan Valladares (Durham) and David Francis Taylor (Oxford).
If you have any queries please contact Michael Burden, Jonathan Hicks or Jacqui Julier.
