Identifier: Coll-1424
Scope and Contents
The Russian-English ink manuscript glossary takes up only 5 pages of a small ledger. It is entitled in hand A glossary of Russian theatrical terms. Its ambition was greater than the reality. According to the handwritten title-page, it was intended to list words relating to: theatre organisation; front of house; stage management; acting; production; and authorship and criticism. There was also an intention to list: foreign plays whose titles were adapted in Russian; and, authorities titled and numbered for reference. In the event only a few words under 'theatre organisation' were listed and the glossary amounts to only 5 pages with a short listing on the final page.
