Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, historical subjects became some of the most popular topics for stage dramas of all kinds on both sides of the Atlantic. This collection of essays examines a number of extraordinary theatrical works in order to cast light on their role in shaping a popular interpretation of historical events. The medium of drama ensured that the telling of these histories the French Revolution and the American War of Independence, for example, or the travels of Captain Cook and Christopher Columbus were brought to life through words, music and spectacle. The scale of the productions was often ambitious: a water tank with model floating ships was deployed at Sadlers Wells for the staging of the Siege of Gibraltar, and another production on the same theme used live cannons which set fire to the vessels in each performance. This illustrated volume, researched and written by experts in the field, explores contemporary theatrical documents (playbills, set designs, musical scores) and images (paintings, prints and illustrations) in seeking to explain what counted as history and historical truth for the writers, performers and audiences of these plays. In doing so it debates the peculiar contradictions of staging history and re-examines some spectacular box office hits. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Through nine case studies of productions ranging from Shakespeare's history plays to musical farce, this illustrated volume explores three themes: the ways in which Britons re-created their own history in theatrical genres; how history on stage was used to develop political and national identities, particularly in America; and the fascination with the exotic and authenticity in theatrical events such as The Grand Pantomime Ballet of the Death of Captain Cook (1789).

"Aside from the John Weber Gallery Invitational, a group show he curated in the summer of 1975, Lives was Jeffrey Deitch's first curatorial project. The theme of Lives was artists who deal with peoples' lives (including their own) as the subject and/or medium of their work. In more simplified terms (the subtitle of the exhibition): artists who use life as their medium. Much of the most exciting new art in the mid-1970s was performative. Lives was one of the first exhibitions to bring together the new generation of artists who fused life and art with artists like Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol who inspired this new direction. The exhibition took place in an abandoned office building on the corner of Franklin and Hudson Streets in New York City. All of the artists were invited to create pages for the xeroxed catalogue which is now a collectors item. The following excerpt from the catalogue text amplifies the theme of the show: For the "Post-Conceptual" artists in the Lives exhibition, the most fertile area of art activity has become the investigation of the artist and his environment, and as an extension, the study of people in general in their confrontation with the creative decision-making process. The forces in peoples' lives that cause art to be created, and the questions about the relationship between art and life have always been of great importance to artists, but now they have a special meaning in terms of the esthetic progression beyond Formalism and the Formalist bias of the Minimal and Conceptual movements. The most interesting recent work refers not to the object itself, but to the forces that shape creative activity. As Dennis Oppenheim sings in the song that accompanies the spastic dance of his self-portrait marionette in the Lives show, "It ain't what you make, it's what makes you do it!" -- from Jeffrey Deitch Curatorial Projects website.
