In editing the script we asked ourselves which generic frame – the domestic or temperance – enables the sensation narrative to speak to an audience more powerfully today. Since the discourse of temperance is effectively culturally dead, our first editing decision was to delete the opening temperance dialogue and all subsequent references to temperance as such. We open our version of the play in the midst of an action, and all subsequent deletions to the script were made in the service of keeping the core action of the play in the foreground. We strived to capture how the action might speak to our audience within the contexts that we carry with us from our own cultural moment, our heightened awareness of forms of violence against women, and uncertainties about truth claims being the most prominent. Thus, we shortened the long paeans to lost domestic security and happiness, keeping domesticity as a thread but not a preoccupation. In other words, we kept enough of the domestic context to highlight the action with the intention to make the action as legible and as credible as we could.","PeriodicalId":286523,"journal":{"name":"Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131862265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our call for papers, we invited proposals on all aspects of urban performance, from plays featuring metropolitan locations to extra-theatrical events such as street theatre, carnivals, rituals, and political demonstrations, as well as considerations of the city as a context for the performative interactions of everyday life. We had a very strong response to our call from a range of international scholars. The sixty-five papers selected covered topics from royal processions to the practice of dark tourism. The conference was dedicated to the eminent theatre historian Michael Booth, who had intended to give a paper at it, but sadly died in 2017. The event began with an address from his widow, Judy Booth, who spoke about Michael from a personal perspective. Nicholas Daly’s keynote presentation, ‘City on Fire: The Pleasures of Urban Catastrophe on the Nineteenth-Century Stage’ was followed by the Michael Booth memorial panel curated by Tracy C. Davis, who was joined by Aileen Robinson and David Mayer. Our second keynote speaker, Lynda Nead, was unfortunately unable to come to the conference owing to illness, but generously agreed for her paper ‘Dickens Noir: The Shadows of Victorianism in Post-War British Art and Culture c. 1945–55’ to be presented in her absence. Moving between photographs by Bill Brandt, such as The Antique Shop of 1948 and In Haworth Parsonage of 1951, David Lean’s adaptations of Dickens’ Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, and the ‘The Haunted Mirror’, part of Robert Hamer’s portmanteau horror film of 1945, The Dead of Night, Nead explored the material remains of the past and their uncanny power to unsettle the apparent optimism of the bright, modern, reconstructed cities of post-War Britain.","PeriodicalId":286523,"journal":{"name":"Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125401984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Close attention to depictions of Waters offers the potential for developing a new model of 1820s and 1830s popular culture that shows – in more detail than the critical models currently available – how popular theatre connects with print and visual media. The use and reuse of Waters’ image allows us to see how Regency popular culture had a specific kind of matrix in which characters, scenes, and images were used and reused across media: with Waters as a case study we can track the ways in which representations of theatricality as a mode of urban life spread across popular culture in a series of networked illustrations. This article analyses visual and textual representations of Billy Waters to suggest a new approach to ascertaining the relationship between ideological agency and popular cultural forms. Building on Robert Darnton’s more linear ‘communication circuit’ it proposes the model of the ‘communication network’ to give new insight into the ways in which theatre and its visual culture function across Regency popular forms.","PeriodicalId":286523,"journal":{"name":"Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130427687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
