The Censorship of British Drama 1900-1968 Volume 4 Zusammenfassung

The Censorship of British Drama 1900-1968 Volume 4: The Sixties Prof. Steve Nicholson

Winner of the Society for Theatre Research Book Prize - 2016

This is the final volume in a new paperback edition of Steve Nicholson's definitive four-volume survey of British theatre censorship from 1900-1968, based on previously undocumented material, covering the period 1960-1968. This brings to its conclusion the first comprehensive research on the Lord Chamberlain's Correspondence Archives for the 20th century. The 1960s was a significant decade in social and political spheres in Britain, especially in the theatre. As certainties shifted and social divisions widened, a new generation of theatre makers arrived, ready to sweep away yesterday's conventions and challenge the establishment. Analysis exposes the political and cultural implications of a powerful elite exerting pressure in an attempt to preserve the veneer of a polite, unquestioning society.

This new edition includes a contextualising timeline for those readers who are unfamiliar with the period, and a new preface.

The Censorship of British Drama 1900-1968 Volume 4 Bewertungen

Nicholson's skillful deployment of meticulous archival research is combined with an effective sense of the overall picture of theatre and performance in the 1960s and concludes with a persuasive caution against complacency about the situation after the end of pre-censorship. -- Russell Jackson * Theatre Notebook *
. . . .we will lament the abolition of censorship insofar as it has robbed us of another volume. -- Anne Etienne, University College Cork * Studies in Theatre and Performance *
'It's a brilliant manuscript, forensic and fascinating, rich with detail and countless examples of the hilarious and bewildering attitudes of the later censorship, but with also Nicholson's characteristic fair-mindedness which treats the Lord Chamberlain and his comptrollers with respect for the difficult job they had to do and the nuanced way in which they did it. It's a great conclusion to a vital series.' -- Dan Rebellato, Royal Holloway University of London
