| Summary |
Evolutionary theory made its stage debut as early as the 1840s, reflecting a scientific advancement that was fast changing the world. Tracing this development in dozens of mainstream European and American plays, as well as in circus, vaudeville, pantomime, and 'missing link' performances, this study reveals the deep, transformative entanglement among science, art and culture in modern times. |
