- This monograph is the result of a substantial research effort spanning seven years, rooted in extensive, complex archival research conducted in Brazil over 12 months, enabled by a Leverhulme Trust/British Academy Senior Research Fellowship and institutional research leave. This entailed the collection and analysis of ephemeral material relating to performances of revues, dance and music in Rio de Janeiro not previously valued or documented. These primary sources were difficult and time-consuming to locate and access, and once collated, required extensive investigation and interpretation supported by varied secondary/theoretical readings, as they spanned a 50-year period (1880s-1930s) and embraced various artistic media.
