UD experts help mount ‘Gender and the London Theatre’ exhibition, symposium at Bryn Mawr College

10:39 a.m., Nov. 18, 2003--The British theatre at the turn of the 19th century and the role it played in the sexual revolution is the subject of “Gender and the London Theatre, 1880-1920,” a symposium to be held at Bryn Mawr College, from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22. Three individuals from UD are involved in the program and accompanying exhibition.

The symposium is a companion to the exhibition “Gender and the London Theatre 1880-1920,” on display through Dec. 19 in the Class of 1912 Rare Book Room in Mariam Coffin Canaday Library at Bryn Mawr. The exhibition is co-curated by Margaret D. Stetz, Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women's Studies at UD, and Mark Samuels Lasner, senior research fellow at the University of Delaware Library and president of the William Morris Society in the United States.

Stetz and Lasner will be presenters at the symposium along with Lois Potter, the Ned B. Allen Professor of English at UD. Potter, who has published extensively on the English theater, will discuss “The New Woman and the Old Masters.” Her most recent book is “Othello” in the “Shakespeare in Performance” series.

The exhibition and symposium look at Britain at the turn of the last century and explore the links between changing notions of gender and sexuality and changes in the world of the stage.
