Based on examples of the vast Hamburg »Theatre-Library« from the 1770s to 1820s, this study proposes a transdisciplinary approach towards handwritten artefacts in modern European theatre. Martin Jörg Schäfer and Alexander Weinstock examine the many-handed creation, handwritten transformation and often decades of use of prompt books in a time increasingly dominated by print. This perspective changes our notion of theatre history around 1800 as well as that of literature and authorship. 410 0$aTheater Series 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Theater / History & Criticism$2bisacsh 610 $aCultural History. 610 $aGermany. 610 $aHamburg. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aManuscripts. 610 $aTheatre Studies. 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Theater / History & Criticism. 700 $aSchäfer$b Martin Jörg$0741435 701 $aWeinstock$b Alexander$01765574 712 02$aDFG$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910879796303321 996 $aTheatre in Handwriting$94207414 997 $aUNINA
