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. 606 $aTheater and society$zFrance 606 $aTheater$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aTheater and society 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 676 $a792.094409034 676 $a792/.0944/09034 700 $aMcCormick$b John$f1938,$01526344 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783834103321 996 $aPopular theatres of nineteenth-century France$93768342 997 $aUNINA
