Abstract

"Of interest to historians of theater and popular culture alike, Roles of Authority shows the ways in which performers entered into discourses of authority during the eighteenth century. By engaging with traditional and contemporary learning, medical legitimacy, gender hierarchies, literary authority, paternalistic family structure, and financial power, writings about stage performers gained them cultural status and social acceptance."--BOOK JACKET.
