Description
xThe Routledge Circus Studies Reader offers an absorbing critical introduction to this emerging field. It collects work by over 30 scholars in this discipline into 3 sections, Perspectives, Precedents and Presents, which approach the history, current issues, and future of circus performance.
The chapters, grouped by theme, present a range of approaches to circus studies. Classic accounts of performance by Phillippe Petit and Nietzsche appear alongside recent scholarship in the field.
Edited by two scholars rooted in the world of performance, The Routledge Circus Studies Reader is an essential and stimulating resource for this evolving discipline.
