About this product
Product Information
Subscription Theater asks why turn-of-the-century British and Irish citizens spent so much time, money, and effort joining subscription lists. Matthew Franks argues that subscribers have been responsible for how we value audience and repertoire today, offering a new account of the relationship between ephemera, drama, and democracy.

Reviews
Matthew Franks offers valuable knowledge about the wider cultural context-social as well as artistic-of British and Irish Edwardian 'new' drama and stagecraft, the regional repertory movement, and the widespread phenomenon of amateur theater. His methodological focus on printed ephemera presents exciting new ways of thinking about documentary evidence in theater history., Matthew Franks convincingly argues that subscription underlay the development of theater audience and repertoire in the modern period. His conclusions are original and make a substantial contribution to both theater history and print culture studies., Drama and theater scholars will find much to admire in Franks's Subscription Theater... The book is bold in its claims, careful in its argumentation, and self-aware in its practice. Even those readers who will perhaps have anticipated the claim that theatrical ephemera are not, in fact, ephemeral will come away with new methods for reading a multimedia archive and new ways to approach performance events through a material apparatus. Readers will also come away with an expanded sense of the literary and of the ways in which Victorian and Edwardian theatergoers made theater--and themselves., " Subscription Theater is a highly valuable study that offers new and original perspectives of the important subscription movement. The book is a must-read for all interested in British and Irish drama from 1880 to 1939."-- English Studies, "Matthew Franks offers valuable knowledge about the wider cultural context--social as well as artistic--of British and Irish Edwardian 'new' drama and stagecraft, the regional repertory movement, and the widespread phenomenon of amateur theater. His methodological focus on printed ephemera presents exciting new ways of thinking about documentary evidence in theater history."--Claire Cochrane, University of Worcester, "Matthew Franks convincingly argues that subscription underlay the development of theater audience and repertoire in the modern period. His conclusions are original and make a substantial contribution to both theater history and print culture studies."--Elizabeth Carolyn Miller, University of California, Davis
