Situating the rich and diverse puppet theatre in the context of entertainment culture, he explores both the aesthetics of these dancing dolls and their sociocultural significance in their life and time. 410 0$aStudies in theatre history and culture. 606 $aPuppet theater$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPuppet theater$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMarionettes$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMarionettes$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPuppet theater$xHistory 615 0$aPuppet theater$xHistory 615 0$aMarionettes$xHistory 615 0$aMarionettes$xHistory 676 $a791.5/094109034 700 $aMcCormick$b John$f1938-$01467485 701 $aMcCormick$b Clodagh$01467486 701 $aPhillips$b John$f1937-$01467487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777509903321 996 $aThe Victorian marionette theatre$93678151 997 $aUNINA
