This article considers the importance of one such collection, held in the British Library and recently digitized, that documents the fashion for private theatricals in Britain and its empire during the Georgian period.

I explore Banks's archiving of private theatricals in the context of her documentation of fashionable sociability as a whole. Banks's archive reveals the imbrication of theatre, sociability, public and private spaces, and print media in the Georgian period. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century Fiction is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
