  • Chapter 2: Marylebone High Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 2 Marylebone High Street With its haphazard straggle of buildings, the parish church on one side and manor house on the other, the road through Marylebone recorded by Henry Pratt in 1708 was to some extent an archetypal village street (Ills 2.01a–b). But in several respects this was an unusual little village. The church, dating from the early 1400s, was remarkably small; the manor house, in contrast, was not only large but of some architectural grandeur, and it was occupied not by a landowner but by a boarding school – a French school at that; there was a small French church too. There was no village green, but there were bowling greens, one belonging to the King’s Arms, the others to the Rose Tavern and subsequently developed into the celebrated Marylebone Gardens (Chapter 3). In short, the village in the early eighteenth century was well-established as a satellite of London, catering alike to an increasingly prosperous and influential Huguenot community, and more widely to the pleasure-seeking Londoner on summer excursions to nearby countryside. Both characteristics became more marked over the next few decades, disappearing in the latter part of the century with the emergence of the High Street into a full-blown shopping, business and administrative centre serving the new town still rising around it. Pratt’s map, though it does not show every building, is the first detailed and coherent picture of the village centre from which Marylebone High Street developed, augmenting the well-wooded, rural impression given by Gasselin’s 1700 view from Marylebone Fields, dominated by the Manor House and just a few other substantial buildings (see Ill.

Funny Walking: The Rise, Fall and Rise of the Anglo-American Comic Eccentric Dancer Abstract This article considers the (seemingly) lost art of comic eccentric dance. As a form of popular entertainment, comic eccentric dancing is generally assumed to be an early to mid-twenti- eth century phenomenon that emerged in the UK from the late Victorian Music Hall period and remained unchanged throughout the Variety period, only to disappear in the era of new mass media’s lack of appetite for ‘turns’ and speciality acts. However, is comic eccentric dance really a lost performance form? Can incarnations of the form really be considered as obsolete and archaic as such routines as, say, mesmerism, blackface or budgerigar acts? This article will attempt to reposition comic eccentric dance as a metamorphic form that still, surprisingly, exists, and is to be found with reasonable ubiquity, in renewed incarna- tions within twenty first century media.

  • Appendix I P. T. Barnum: Humbug and Reality
    APPENDIX I P. T. BARNUM: HUMBUG AND REALITY s a candidate for the father of American show business, Barnum’s Awider significance is still being quarried by those with an interest in social and cultural history. The preceding chapters have shown how vari- ety, animal exhibits, circus acts, minstrelsy, and especially freak shows, owe much of their subsequent momentum to his popularization of these amusement forms. For, while Barnum has long been associated in popular memory solely with the circus business, his overall career as an entertainment promoter embraced far more than the celebrated ringmas- ter figure of present-day public estimation. Barnum saw himself as “the museum man” for the better part of his long show business career, following his successful management of the American Museum from the 1840s to the 1860s. To repeat, for all Barnum’s reputation today as a “circus man,” he saw himself first and foremost as a museum proprietor, one who did much to promote and legitimize the display of “human curiosities.”1 While the emergence of an “American” national consciousness has been dated to the third quarter of the eighteenth century, Barnum’s self- presentation was central to the cultural formation of a particular middle- class American sense of identity in the second half of the nineteenth century (see chapter 1), as well as helping to shape the new show business ethos. Over time, he also became an iconic or referential figure in the wider culture, with multiple representations in cinematic, theatrical, and literary form (see below).Yet was Barnum really the cultural pacesetter as he is often presented in popular biographical writing, not to mention his own self-aggrandizing prose.
