By providing extensive, unpublished information on its first actors, audiences, production methods, and plays, this book traces how the theatrewhich was one of the first in the Indian subcontinent to adopt European stagecrafttransformed into a pan-Asian entertainment industry in the second half of the nineteenth century. Nicholson sheds light on the motivations that led to the development of the popular, commercial theatre movement in Asia through three areas of investigation: the vernacular public sphere, the emergence of competing visions of nationhood, and the narratological function that women served within a continually shifting socio-political order. The book will be of interest to scholars across several disciplines, including cultural history, gender studies, Victorian studies, the sociology of religion, colonialism, and theatre. Rashna Darius Nicholson is Assistant Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Hong Kong. She has published works on colonial and postcolonial South Asian performance, theatre historiography, and cultural development. 001434818 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001434818 650_0 $$aTheater and society$$zIndia$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001434818 650_0 $$aParsee theater$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001434818 650_6 $$aThéâtre et société$$zInde$$xHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001434818 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001434818 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434818 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNicholson, Rashna Darius.$$tColonial Public and the Parsi Stage : The Making of the Theatre of Empire (1853-1893).$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2021$$z9783030658359 001434818 830_0 $$aTransnational theatre histories. 001434818 852__ $$bebk 001434818 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-65836-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434818 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434818$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434818 980__ $$aBIB 001434818 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434818 982__ $$aEbook 001434818 983__ $$aOnline 001434818 994__ $$a92$$bISE
