In nineteenth-century Britain, the spectacular and highly profitable theatrical form known as "pantomime" was part of a shared cultural repertoire and a significant medium for the transmission of stories. Popular fairy-tale theater also informed the production and reception of folklore research in ways that are often overlooked. Rowdy, comedic, and slightly risqu?, pantomime productions were situated in dynamic relationship with various forms of print and material culture.
In Staging Fairyland: Folklore, Children's Entertainment, and Nineteenth-Century Pantomime, Jennifer Schacker reclaims the place of theatrical performance in this history, developing a model for the intermedial and cross-disciplinary study of narrative cultures.The case studies that punctuate each chapter move between the realms of print and performance, scholarship and popular culture.
