- Everyone’s Theatre reinvents Victorian media and literary history around a massive new archive of primary documents: lost plays and performance materials, but also the undiscovered experiences of non-celebrity Victorians drawn from their diaries. It shows a theatrical mode that accompanied imperial citizens everywhere, from their drawing rooms to regimental life in India and Africa. To place these materials in the widest possible intellectual context, the book situates these writings within the contemporary history of ideas, using the political theory of Walter Bagehot and the political practice of William Gladstone to uncover an empire that figured citizenship as theatrical emulation.
