Call for Papers

London Stage and the Nineteenth-Century World III

16-18 April 2020

Following the success of the London Stage conferences held in 2016 and 2018, we welcome contributions on all aspects and forms of theatrical practice in nineteenth-century London, from plays and operas to pantomime and puppetry. The ‘London stage’ should be interpreted as inclusively as possible, including such topics as criticism, dance, scenography, genre, theatrical technology, colonial politics, and the staging of the natural environment. Papers on sources, collections, and theatrical materials are also sought.

For the 2020 conference, we are particularly interested in how metropolitan performance engaged with global trends, including (though not limited to) trade, conflict, climate, and migration.

The proposal submission deadline is midnight on Friday 29 November 2019.
