Summary
The role of the foreign and its naturalization in British culture in print, theater and peformance realms; the roles of the audience in the politics of theater both within the British archipelago and across the empire; and the degrees to which the imperial provinces, their peoples, practices and knowledges, were crucial components of metropolitan modernity and claims to global standing.
