Zusammenfassung: | At the height of the British Empire's fortunes, the stage represented the most influential form of popular entertainment. 'Acts of supremacy' looks at the way in which this medium was utilised to mould popular concepts of empire and nationhood and the authors convey the significance of all levels of entertainment in shaping English identity and perception of other ethnic groups. The authors go beyond the traditional interpretation of politicians' blatant inculcation of patriotic fervour through plays and jingoistic songs. Additionally, they reveal the complex cultural negotiations that gave ordinary people a sense of their part in the imperial structure. Focusing upon minstrel shows, melodramas, comic routines and songs, the book shows that the public were encouraged to identify themselves with and to internalise the qualities required for empire builders and natural leaders. It concludes that the average British man, whatever his class or country, could come to think of himself as a member of a superior race fit to rule the world. Only Irish drama of the period significantly challenged this pattern. 'Acts of supremacy' should be of interest to students of drama and cultural history as well as social and political historians |

Bratton -- - Staging the Irishman - Richard Allen Cave -- - Melodrama, realism and empire on the British stage - Heidi J. Holder -- - Staging British India - Breandan Gregory -- - Mock blacks and racial mockery : the 'nigger' minstrel and British imperialism - Michael Pickering At the height of the British Empire's fortunes, the stage represented the most influential form of popular entertainment. 'Acts of supremacy' looks at the way in which this medium was utilised to mould popular concepts of empire and nationhood and the authors convey the significance of all levels of entertainment in shaping English identity and perception of other ethnic groups. The authors go beyond the traditional interpretation of politicians' blatant inculcation of patriotic fervour through plays and jingoistic songs. Additionally, they reveal the complex cultural negotiations that gave ordinary people a sense of their part in the imperial structure. Focusing upon minstrel shows, melodramas, comic routines and songs, the book shows that the public were encouraged to identify themselves with and to internalise the qualities required for empire builders and natural leaders. It concludes that the average British man, whatever his class or country, could come to think of himself as a member of a superior race fit to rule the world. Only Irish drama of the period significantly challenged this pattern. 'Acts of supremacy' should be of interest to students of drama and cultural history as well as social and political historians 1991 Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1790-1930 gnd rswk-swf DRAMA / General / bisach HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / bicssc Theater / Great Britain / History / 19th century Theater / Great Britain / History / 20th century Theater and society / Great Britain English drama / 19th century / History and criticism English drama / 20th century / History and criticism History/ General & World History / bicssc 20th century history / C 1900 To C 2000 / bicssc Theatre Studies / bicssc Theatre studies / bicssc General & world history / bicssc Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Nationalcharakter (DE-588)4137343-1 gnd rswk-swf Theater (DE-588)4059702-7 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf United Kingdom, Great Britain / bicssc Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Geschichte 1790-1930 z DE-604 Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 b Nationalcharakter (DE-588)4137343-1 s Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Theater (DE-588)4059702-7 s Cave, Richard Allen 1943- Verfasser (DE-588)138807698 aut Gregory, Breandan Verfasser aut Holder, Heidi J.
