Interdisciplinary and innovative, it will appeal to scholars and researchers in South Asian theatre and performance studies, history and gender studies. This book makes a distinctive contribution in intertwining performance studies with literary history and art practices within a cross-cultural framework. It presents rich archival work from diverse sources, many translated for the first time. Analysing the dynamics behind stagecraft and spectacle, the study highlights the politics of demarcation and exclusion of social roles. An underlying motif is the playing out of the idea of spiritual salvation, redemption and modernity. Each chapter offers new ways of conceptualising the actress as a professional, a colonial subject, simultaneously the other and the model of the ‘new woman’. The focus here is on Calcutta, considered the ‘second city of the Empire’ and a nodal point in global trade circuits. It looks at the emergence of the stage actress as an artist and an ideological construct at critical phases of performance practice in British India. This book foregrounds the subjectivity of ‘acting women’ amidst violent debates on femininity and education, livelihood and labour, sexuality and marriage.
