RECENT yEARS HAVE SEEN AN iMPoRTANT TREND toward linking the iberian Peninsula to its new World colonies and territories with the understanding that by crossing the ocean—in both directions, often multiple times—people, ideas, practices, and objects underwent transformations and were enriched and altered by contacts on either end. Rachael Ball’s book, her first, takes plays and theater troupes on this voyage, thus offering an original, intriguing, and entertaining way of tracking the survival and meaning of cultural practices. in addition to giving us a transatlantic look at theater, she adds two layers: the first is the link between theater and public health institutions or charity efforts, often run by religious confraternities; the second is a comparison between the spanish experience and that of cities in england, ireland, and Virginia. the theater scene in madrid and throughout spain, as is well known, was exciting, active, and raucous. no other european country could compare. its deep bench of playwrights and entrepreneurs benefited from a unique arrangement between municipal entities and theater; as hospitals depended upon ticket sales to finance patient care and alms-giving, the theaters, though shut down now and again for health reasons or for royal mourning periods, were ensured a relatively secure livelihood, notwithstanding some vocal critics of this popular entertainment on moral grounds. the pairs of cities Ball presents for comparative purposes are madrid and London, seville and Bristol, mexico city and dublin, and Puebla and Williamsburg. At first glance these are fascinating pairings, seeming to offer a potential wealth of material and angles from which to better understand the two great atlantic empires. the final chapter, the book’s strongest (it also appeared as an excellent article in Sixteenth Century Review [vol. 46, no. 3, 2015]), is thematic rather than geographic, looking at antitheatrical sentiment and writings in early modern spain and england. the critical genre enjoyed considerable success in both Rachael Ball.

对待公众:早期现代大西洋世界的慈善剧院和公民健康,蕾切尔·鲍尔(Rachael Ball)

近年来出现了将伊比利亚半岛与其新的世界殖民地和领土连接起来的重要趋势,人们认识到通过跨越大洋——双向,通常是多次——人们、思想、实践和物体经历了转变并得到了丰富和丰富。通过两端的触点改变。Rachael Ball 的第一本书是她的第一本书,在这次航行中使用了戏剧和剧团,从而提供了一种原始的、有趣的、有趣的方式来追踪文化实践的生存和意义。除了让我们对戏剧进行跨大西洋观察之外,她还增加了两个层次:第一是戏剧与公共卫生机构或慈善事业之间的联系,通常由宗教团体运营;第二个是西班牙经验与英格兰、爱尔兰和弗吉尼亚州城市经验的比较。众所周知,马德里和整个西班牙的剧院场面令人兴奋、活跃且喧闹。没有其他欧洲国家可以与之相比。其深厚的剧作家和企业家队伍受益于市政实体和剧院之间的独特安排;由于医院依靠售票来资助病人护理和施舍,剧院虽然时不时因健康原因或皇室哀悼期而关闭,但仍能确保相对安全的生计,尽管有些人对这种流行的道德娱乐活动提出批评理由。Ball 提出的用于比较的城市对是马德里和伦敦、塞维利亚和布里斯托尔、墨西哥城和都柏林以及普埃布拉和威廉斯堡。乍一看,这些是迷人的配对,似乎提供了潜在的财富财富,可以从中更好地了解两个伟大的大西洋帝国。最后一章,本书最强的一章(它也出现在《十六世纪评论》[第 46 卷,第 3 期,2015 年] 中的一篇优秀文章),是主题而非地理,着眼于近代西班牙和英国的反戏剧情绪和著作. 批评流派在瑞秋·鲍尔 (Rachael Ball) 中都取得了相当大的成功。对待公众:早期现代大西洋世界的慈善剧院和公民健康。批评流派在瑞秋·鲍尔 (Rachael Ball) 中都取得了相当大的成功。对待公众:早期现代大西洋世界的慈善剧院和公民健康。批评流派在瑞秋·鲍尔 (Rachael Ball) 中都取得了相当大的成功。对待公众:早期现代大西洋世界的慈善剧院和公民健康。
