Speculative Enterprise: Public Theaters and Financial Markets in London, 1688-1763
Mattie Burkert
Identifies a discursive “theatre-finance nexus” at work in plays by Colley Cibber, Richard Steele, and Susanna Centlivre as well as in the vibrant eighteenth-century media landscape. As Burkert demonstrates, the stock market and the entertainment industry were recognised as interconnected institutions that gave rise to new modes of resistance.
