Abstract

This book provides an account of four transatlantic theatre agents active from 1890 to 1925, examining the enabling conditions for their work. It reveals a hitherto hidden infrastructure of networked people and technologies of transport, communication, and media, which facilitated the international expansion of the entertainment industry in this era.
