Whereas other studies offer a traditional approach to the theatres of high culture, John McCormick takes the role of impartial historian, uncovering the popular theatres of the boulevards, suburbs and fairgrounds. He focuses on the social and economic context in which vaudevilles, pantomimes and melodramas were performed, and explores the audiences who enjoyed them.Theater and societyFranceTheaterFranceHistory19th centuryTheater and societyTheaterHistory792.094409034792/.0944/09034McCormick John1938-1688826MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820836303321Popular theatres of nineteenth-century France4190813UNINA
