Announcing a new series from Ashgate Publishing Company-
Studies in Performance in the Long Eighteenth Century:
Theatre, Music, Dance
Series Editors: Jane Milling, University of Exeter
and Kathryn Lowerre,
Michigan State University
Focusing on performance culture during the long
eighteenth century, this
series offers studies in all types of cultural
performance including
theatre, opera, dance, musical performance, and popular
entertainments. It
is a forum for interdisciplinary work, drawing the
debates of historians and
musicologists as well as literary, dance, theatre and
opera scholars into a
creative symbiosis.
The editors welcome studies which are concerned with
British, European, and
early American cultural history. Studies that concern
themselves with
theoretical questions surrounding acts of performance
during this period are
also welcome.
This series offers an invigorating venue for histories
of theatre, music,
dance, and opera, which concentrate on aspects of
performance; performers,
impresarios, venues, movements, modes of performance.
Proposals should take the form of either
1. a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing
the project; or

of contents, sample
chapter, estimate of length, estimate of the number and
type of
