SCHÄFER MARTIN JÖRG THEATRE IN HANDWRITING

In German spoken theatre  prompt books used to be written by multiple participants engaging in
diverse manuscript practices which continually revise the unfixed literary text within its
theatrical context. Based on examples of the vast Hamburg 'Theatre-Library' from the 1770s to
1820s  this study proposes a transdisciplinary approach towards handwritten artefacts in modern
European theatre. Martin Jörg Schäfer and Alexander Weinstock examine the many-handed creation
handwritten transformation and often decades of use of prompt books in a time increasingly
dominated by print. This perspective changes our notion of theatre history around 1800 as well
as that of literature and authorship.
