摘要

本研究考察了在爱德华七世时期(1890-1914)，舞台上的音乐喜剧在塑造流行文化中所扮演的角色。它是基于这一时期的两种标志性戏剧类型:欢乐女孩和日场偶像。历史学家低估了它们的重要性和它们所代表的意义。这两者被解读为一种理解文化发展的方式，这种文化以魅力、名人、时尚、展示和公共形式的性为基础，开始与维多利亚时代决裂。它特别关注了伦敦西区导演乔治·爱德华兹(George edwards)制作的音乐喜剧，并探讨了它们与当时发展中的时尚和美容行业的联系。

The Gaiety Girl and the Matinee Idol: Constructing Celebrity, Glamour and Sexuality in the West End of London, 1890–1914

This study examines the role that musical comedy on stage played in shaping popular culture in the long Edwardian period (1890–1914). It is based around two iconic theatrical types of the period: the Gaiety Girl and the matinee idol. Historians have underestimated their importance and what they represented. These two are decoded as a way of understanding the development of a culture based upon glamour, celebrity, fashion, display and public forms of sexuality which started to break with Victorianism. It looks in particular at the musical comedies produced by the West End impresario George Edwardes and explores their links to the developing fashion and beauty industries of the period.
