Binding: Paperback
Description: In this book theatre historian Jason Price looks at the relationships and exchanges that took place between high and low cultural forms in Britain from 1880 to 1940, focusing on the ways in which figures from popular entertainments such as music hall serio - comics clowns and circus acrobats came to feature in modern works of art. Readers with an interest in art theatre and the history of modern Britain will find Price's approach which sees major works of art used to illuminate the histories of once - famous entertainers and the wider social political and cultural landscape of this period accessible and engaging. The book will bring to life for readers some of the most vivid works of modern British art and reveal how individuals historically overlooked due to their gender sexuality or race played a significant role in the shaping of British culture during this period of monumental social change.
