Gilbert and Sullivan: Class and the Savoy Tradition, 1875-1896

Making extensive use of archival resources, Regina B. Oost examines advertisements, promotional materials, and programs; letters, diaries, and account books; and the operas themselves to reconstruct the ways in which Gilbert and Sullivan and their producer attracted and shaped the expectations of theatergoers. Highly accessible and entertaining, her book will appeal to scholars of theater history, literature, music, and popular culture, as well as general readers.
