Historical Evidence
Thomas Postlewait's essay, "Historical Evidence: Induction, Deduction, Abduction, and Serendipity," offers an overview on four distinct ways that evidence is discovered, constructed, and interpreted during the procedures of historical investigation
The nature of historical evidence
i What do theatre historians do? How do they do it? Two simple questions, but the answers are complex, as I wish to demonstrate in this chapter on historical evidence. In order to provide some useful answers to these two questions, especially the how question, I will feature an event in theatre history that continues to generate controversy among theatre historians: the sudden death of the English playwright Christopher Marlowe (1564–93), who was…
Critical Theory and Performance
Historiography and the Theatrical Event
In guides to historical method, it is common practice to divide the professional procedures of the historian into three sequential steps.' First, one investigates and examines, then one analyzes and synthesizes, and finally one communicates the results. The data are gathered, the data are interpreted, the data are reported. Setting aside for a moment the third procedure of reporting, we can see that this model in its first two stages posits a sep…
Interpreting the Theatrical Past
Time and Narrative
The Criteria for Periodization in Theatre History
The concept of periodization, in its normative if somewhat misleading usage, delineates one aspect of history, the condition of stability (or identity), in relation to another aspect, the process of change (or difference). These two aspects of human events, though dynamically interrelated and mutually defining, are separated in historical study for descriptive and analytical purposes. The continuous flow of time is organized into heuristic catego…
Prophet of the New Drama
This analytical history is the most comprehensive and accurate record of the Ibsen campaign in London. Postlewait places major emphasis on the activities of William Archer, the theatre critic, translator, and director who zealously campaigned for the acceptance of Ibsen's works in particular and the new drama in general. He argues that proper appreciation of Archer's often devious role as the foremost advocate of Ibsen is vital to understanding h…
