- At over 80,000 words, this book represents a sustained and interdisciplinary volume. It is the culmination of six years’ work on British cultural identity in popular culture. It studies—in depth—over fifty works of British musical comedy (1890–1939), some of which have never been discussed in musical theatre scholarship, using the original play-texts and scores. It offers original and revisionary readings of masculinity, national identity and the representation of Empire, race and class on the British musical stage in London, New York and globally.
