Sinopsis

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success ofáA DollâÇÖs House, Henrik IbsenâÇÖs most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the playâÇÖs production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the playâÇÖs transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama, a comparative study of the playâÇÖs 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, NorwayâÇÖs soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.
