520 "This book excels in innovative transnational
historiography and historical network research. It opens
up original and fascinating perspectives on 19th century
Atlantic cross overs between cultural brokers and theatre
agents, offering an impressive insight into the vivid
global circulation of theatre industries. It reads like a
stunning adventure!" - - Kati Rottger, Universiteit van
Amsterdam "In her superbly researched and elegantly
written book, Nic Leonhardt puts centre stage theatre's
invisible players. She sheds new light on theatre agents
as the protagonists of a global theatre business in the
early twentieth century. This is an innovative
contribution to theatre history informed by global history
and a broad understanding of theatrical production in the
context of a capitalist market economy, infrastructural,
legal and technical innovations. For historians, it is a
stimulating contribution to the cultural history of modern
globalisation in a transatlantic key." - - Martin
Baumeister, Historian, Director German Historical
Institute, Rome Theatre Across Oceans: Mediators Of
Transatlantic Exchange allows the reader to enter and
understand the infrastructural 'backstage area' of global
cultural mobility during the years between 1890 and 1925.
Located within the research fields of global history and
theory, the geographical focus of the book is a
transatlantic one, based on the active exchange in this
phase between North and South America and Europe.
Emanating from a rich body of archival material, the study
argues that this exchange was essentially facilitated and
controlled by professional theatrical mediators (agents,
brokers), who have not been sufficiently researched within
theatre or historical studies. The low visibility of
mediators in the scientific research is in diametrical
contrast to the enormous power that they possessed in the
period dealt with in this book. Nic Leonhardt is Associate
Professor of Theatre Studies at LMU Munich. Her research
focuses on theatre history of the nineteenth and twentieth
century and is strongly interdisciplinary and
transnational in approach. Since 2016 she has been the
senior researcher and associate director of the ERC
(European Research Council) project "Developing Theatre"
at LMU Munich, as well as director of the Centre for
Global Theatre History
