Abstract
In ‘Amateur theatre networks in the archive’ David Coates describes how existing scholarship on pre-twentieth-century British amateur theatre consists of a series of microhistories. He explains that although these microhistories offer fascinating insights into amateur theatricals in particular environments, communities or societies, there is a lack of understanding of the relationship that each example has to one another. This, he suggests, could be because of the often-fragmentary material traces of amateur theatre in the archive. The result has been an assumption that participants in pre-twentieth-century amateur theatre were unaware of other amateur theatrical endeavours and of the heritage of their practices, instead having only the professional theatre as a reference point.
