Book Description
Theatre Across Oceans: Mediators Of Transatlantic Exchange allows the reader to enter and understand the infrastructural 'backstage area' of global cultural mobility during the years between 1890 and 1925. Located within the research fields of global history and theory, the geographical focus of the book is a transatlantic one, based on the active exchange in this phase between North and South America and Europe. Emanating from a rich body of archival material, the study argues that this exchange was essentially facilitated and controlled by professional theatrical mediators (agents, brokers), who have not been sufficiently researched within theatre or historical studies. The low visibility of mediators in the scientific research is in diametrical contrast to the enormous power that they possessed in the period dealt with in this book.

Book Description
In her early 20s, Edna Loftus had the world at her feet. As a showgirl in England and France during the Edwardian era, she appeared in many successful theater productions, regularly graced the pages of contemporary magazines, and was featured on numerous picture postcards. She hobnobbed with royalty and kept company with the creme de la creme of European society. Then fate seemingly turned on Edna. After two unsuccessful marriages (the second ending with her husband being incarcerated in an asylum), she was left alone in California, and her decline into poverty and prostitution became fodder for the newspapers which had once sung her praises. By the time of her death in her early 30s, Edna was "a pathetic figure pointed out as a bit of a curiosity because she once had been famous on two continents." Edna Loftus was very much a product of her times. It was not simply a matter of bad choices on Edna's part which led to her dissolution, but also the institutionalized socio-cultural constructs of patriarchy, classism, and religious intolerance of the Edwardian Era. This biography, the first ever written about Edna, examines how these factors played into her descent from the sparkling footlights of the European theaters to the red lights of San Francisco's infamous Tenderloin District and destroyed her in the end.
