Summary

Women in Russian Theatreis 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.
