Publisher's Note
Women in Russian Theatre is the first documentation of Russian actresses to be published in English. It is a fascinating feminist intervention into the much-studied canon of Russian theatre history. With unprecedented access to newly-opened files in Russia, Catherine Schuler examines the impact Russian actresses had upon the modernist theatre of their period. Schuler brings invaluable historical detail and contemporary critical theory, to case-studies of the following popular actresses and actress-entrepreneurs of the late Imperial Russian stage: Mariia Savina, Glikeriia Fedotova, Anna Brenko, Vera Kommissarzhevskaia, Mariia Ermlova, Polina Strepetova, and Lidia Iavorskaia.
This book is the first ever documentation of Russian actresses to be published in English. It is a fascinating feminist intervention into the much-studied canon of Russian theatre history.
