‘All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players’. This famous phrase from Shakespeare’s As you Like it aptly encapsulates what this collection of nine eloquently-written and lavishly illustrated essays seeks to convey – that we are all players and participants in the performance of our history. Staging historical events, as this book explores, is fundamentally a social performance of identities, since individuals and the cultures they occupy are mutually constitutive. Seen from a performative angle, and according to Tracy Davis, ‘as we negotiate life as social beings [. . .], we perform. As we perform, we are also historical’. The material of the book is drawn largely from the Bodleian Library’s recent exhibition with the same title, Staging History, which took place between 14 October 2016 and 8 January 2017, and this accompanying publication is intended as a complement to the exhibition. Many studies, including this one, concur that the theatre was an important social space for the promotion and consumption of historical drama in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

“全世界都是一个舞台,所有男人和女人都只是参与者”。莎士比亚的《如你所愿》中的这个著名短语恰当地概括了这本九篇雄辩而写实,插图丰富的论文所试图传达的内容—我们都是历史表现的参与者和参与者。正如本书所探讨的那样,举办历史事件从根本上讲是身份的社会表现,因为个人及其所居住的文化是相互构成的。从表演的角度来看,根据特雷西·戴维斯(Tracy Davis)的说法,“当我们将生活作为社会存在者进行谈判时[。。。],我们执行。当我们表演时,我们也是历史性的。该书的内容主要取材于Bodleian图书馆最近的展览,该展览的标题同为“分期历史”,展览于2016年10月14日至2017年1月8日举行,此随附出版物旨在作为展览的补充。包括本研究在内的许多研究都认为剧院是18世纪和19世纪促进和消费历史戏剧的重要社会空间。
