Brief History of 19th-Century Theater

[L Verge]

In searching for something else, I stumbled across this fairly short and easy to read history of 19th-century theater. I'll leave it to Tom Bogar to evaluate its accuracy, but it gave me some insight (I hope correctly) on a subject that I know very little about.
