Gender, Writing, Spectatorships : Evenings at the Theatre, Opera, and Silent Screen in Late Nineteenth-Century Italy and Beyond Hardback
by Katharine Mitchell
Part of the The Nineteenth Century Series series
Hardback
Description
This original study makes a valuable contribution to Italian feminist/women's history, spectatorship studies, and cultural history by examining women as protagonists, producers and consumers of literature, theatre, opera and film.
Drawing on archival material - female correspondence, life-writings and journalism - as well as an impressive range of canonical texts, it brings together detailed engagement with female performance and with female spectators' material responses to "women's opera, theatre and film," placing these in the context of melodrama from the 1880s to the 1920s in Italy, France, the US, and elsewhere.
It is unique in its interdisciplinary approach and in its consideration of female relationships based on admiration among performers and writers - the embodiment of a vibrant, mobile and successful Italian female culture industry during the first wave of feminism.
