Slavery on Scene: Locating Dutch Theatre in the Abolitionist Debate (1775-1825)
SoS is the first systematic study exploring the representation of slavery on the Dutch stage in an age of significant ideological and political change. Considering text and performance as equally important carriers of meaning, it will try to determine the position of theatre in the abolitionist debate, and shed light on the complexities of the abolitionist ideology of that time.
