Reconstructing the business, performance, and audience histories of Glasgow?s Britannia hall, Maloney traces its wider enmeshment in the city?s burgeoning entertainment industry, the development of a new cosmopolitanism, and the negotiation of crucial issues of modern pleasure and identity on the stage and in the streets.?- Peter Bailey, Visiting Professor of History, Indiana University USA ?This major contribution to the history of music hall in Britain explores the story of the Britannia, Glasgow. The long-surviving hall is treated as a case study in the development of music hall beyond London, and as such it delivers a convincing, innovative analysis as nuanced as it is fascinating.? ? Jacky Bratton, Emeritus Professor of Theatre and Cultural Studies, Royal Holloway University of London, UK ?In this penetrating work of social history, Paul Maloney emerges as one of the major interpreters of modern popular culture. His lively recovery of the Britannia Panopticon music hall in Glasgow becomes an exploration of urban life, ethnicity, national identity, mass entertainment, and modernity.? - Rohan McWilliam, Professor of Modern British History, Anglia Ruskin University, UK Focusing on Glasgow?s earliest surviving music hall, the Britannia, later the Panopticon, this book explores the role of one of the city?s most iconic cultural venues within the cosmopolitan entertainment market that emerged in British cities in the nineteenth century. Shedding light on the increasing diversity of commercial entertainment provided by such venues ? offering everything from music hall, early cinema and amateur nights to waxworks, menageries and freak shows - this study also encompasses the model of community-based, working-class music hall which characterised the Panopticon?s later years, challenging narratives of the primacy of city centre variety. Providing a comprehensive analysis of this dynamic popular theatre of the industrial age, Maloney examines the role of the hall?s managers, marketing and promotional strategies, audiences, and performing genres from the hall?s opening in 1859 until final closure in 1938. The book also explores stage representations of Irish and Jewish immigrant communities present in surrounding city centre areas, demonstrating the Britannia?s diasporic links to other British cities and centres in North America, thus providing a multifaceted and pioneering account of this still extant Victorian music hall. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aArts 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aPerforming Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aTheatre and Performance Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415000 606 $aArts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/416000 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aScotland$zGlasgow$2fast 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aArts. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aPerforming Arts. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Studies. 615 24$aArts. 676 $a792.09 700 $aMaloney$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060179 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136844203321 996 $aThe Britannia Panopticon Music Hall and Cosmopolitan Entertainment Culture$92511714 997 $aUNINA
