Hans Christian Andersen and the Romantic Theatre: A study of stage practices in the prenaturalistic Scandinavian theatre
Description
This book, the first to deal with Andersen as a man of the theatre, dispels the myth that he was a frustrated closet dramatist. The author has culled a unique body of theatrical sources from the archives of the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen and has collected a gallery of unpublished designs and ground plans to illustrate his story.
