Book Description
In the first half of the 19th century, a group of puppeteers of the Pratte family, allegedly coming from Sweden, performed in many European countries. Several accidentally preserved signboards and theater ads related to their performances in Hamburg, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Budapest and Prague suggest that the Prattes traveled through a large part of Europe with their puppet theatre, yet their actual origins and style of staging are now forgotten. Only in recent years significant documents have been found, in relation to the renewed intense research on the first Czech puppeteer Jan Brát from the east Bohemain city of Náchod, which reveal surprising findings about his descendants: about his son Anton Pratte and his children who continued in puppetry. Thus, a fascinating story emerges from long forgotten past about origins and life of three generations of puppeteers who were for almost a hundred years a lively component part of cultural activities in the region of Central Europe.

Book Description
Banned, marginalised, tolerated or neglected, puppets were a major form of entertainment of the subordinate classes in the nineteenth century. Showmen travelled from one end of Europe to the other bringing everything from biblical plays to melodramas and variety to audiences who experienced them as their only form of dramatic entertainment. The first study of its kind in English, Popular Puppet Theatre in Europe is less a history than a comparative study, highlighting a significant aspect of social and cultural history from a national and transnational perspective. It examines the showmen, their audiences, the performance context, and the technical and practical aspects of the puppets and their stages.
