In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

Pickering Department of Social Science © Carole Walker, 2001. ABSTRACT Caroline Chisholm Australia Nineteenth century emigration Nineteenth century women's history Philanthropy The purpose of this thesis is to look at the motivations behind the life and work of Caroline Chisholm, nee Jones, 1808-1877, and to ascertain why British historians have chosen to ignore her contribution to the nineteenth century emigration movement, while attending closely to such women as Nightingale for example. The Introduction to the thesis discusses the difficulties of writing a biography of a nineteenth century woman, who lived at the threshold of modernity, from the perspective of the twenty-first century, in the period identified as late modernity or postmodernity. The critical issues of writing a historical biography are explored. Chapter Two continues the debate in relation to the Sources, Methods and Problems that have been met with in writing the thesis. Chapters Three to Seven consider Chisholm's life and work in the more conventional narrative format, detailing where new evidence has been found.

  • Imagining China in London Musical Theatre During the 1890S: the Geisha and San Toy
    Imagining China in London Musical Theatre during the 1890s: The Geisha and San Toy William A. EVERETT University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance 4949 Cherry Street, Kansas City, MO 64110-2229, USA E-mail: [email protected] (Received: March 2016; accepted: June 2016) Abstract: For people living in London during the 1890s, China and the Chinese were largely mythical constructions. Attitudes towards China, as well as the Chinese them- selves, were being imagined at the time through various media, including popular musical theatre. Two shows, both with music by Sidney Jones and produced by George Edwardes at Daly’s Theatre, were significant in this identity construction: The Geisha (1896) and San Toy (1899). Both musicals are set in East Asia and include Chinese and British characters. In The Geisha, which takes place in Japan, the sole Chinese char- acter is Wun-Hi, the owner of a teahouse. He is less than honorable, and his music is in an ethnic-based music hall style, with nearly speech-sung melodies and unashamed Pidgin English. In Jones’s score for San Toy, which is set in China, characters who endorse Western views sing glorious melodic lines reminiscent of Gilbert and Sullivan while those who do not sound like Wun-Hi in The Geisha, with clipped articulations and non-standard English. Keywords: Orientalism, China, Operetta, The Geisha, San Toy How the British imagined China and the Chinese at the end of the nineteenth century was a complex, multi-faceted, and sometime contradictory affair. London at the time had a Chinese population of only about 300, and most Londoners as- sociated the Chinese with laundries, catering businesses, or opium dens.1 (Charles Dickens’ The Mystery of Edwin Drood provides a vivid example for the last of these images, with its menacing atmosphere filled with mystery and unknowing.) 1.

    CHAPTER IX: l88S On 3 January 1885 the Clerk to the Leeds Justices sent a letter to the Grand Theatre which said that the Justices considered that 'strong hand rails' were necessary in the principal, and some of the other staircases in the theatre, and that the stage door should be made to open outwards. (It will be remembered that there had been an accident at the Theatre Royal, Leeds, in 1882, and that Watson had been asked to report on the safety of the Grand Theatre's exits in case of panic in 1883. It seems likely, therefore, that the Justices were now acting with an increased awareness of such dangers.) Lee Anderson received the letter, but passed it on to Kingston for the consideration of the directors. They, however, anticipated this, and decided at a meeting held before Lee Anderson sent on the letter, that the Justices' demands fell upon the theatre's lessee and not the company. Kingston ,\.,asaccordingly instructed to send the letter back to Lee Anderson. Whatever the propriety of this move, it is clearly concordant with the company's intention dating from the 1884 Annual General Meeting to make Wilson Barrett responsible for every expense that it could. This kind of action was no doubt necessitated by the 3% narrow margin of profit on which the company worked, and the strictness with which the directors controlled their expenditure is indicated by a letter to the company's auditors (Messrs John Routh) on 15 January 1885. Having completed the audit Messrs Routh had sent to the board an account for £3 l7s.
