The term \u201cfan\u201d originated in England as an abbreviation for \u201cfanatic,\u201d<\/em> which meant a \u201creligious zealot.\u201d It acquired its contemporary meaning,<\/em> that of a \u201cpassionate enthusiast\u201d or \u201cdevoted admirer\u201d two centuries later in<\/em> the American press (describing baseball aficionados). As Caroline Heim<\/em> states: \u201cUsing the term to refer to theatre enthusiasts followed shortly<\/em> thereafter with the grand entrance of the Matinee Girl into the theatre<\/em> auditorium. Before that time, theatre fans were predominantly referred<\/em> to as admirers or followers” (2016: 42). By 1914 American journalists applied the<\/em> word to actors\u2019 most devoted admirers, \u201calthough still placing it within<\/em> quotes to mark it as novel slang” (Marcus 2019: 75). In the Polish language, they were<\/em> most often called \u201ctheatremaniacs\u201d (a direct translation of <\/em>teatromani). The<\/em> timing of the rise of this terminology does not indicate that \u201cfan\u201d culture<\/em> only became visible in the nineteenth century. As Mark Duffett notes, \u201cIt<\/em> is easy to make swift generalizations and say that prototypical forms of<\/em> fandom therefore never existed in the earlier times. That would, however,<\/em> mistake the invention of the label for the beginning of the phenomenon”(Duffet 2013: 5).<\/em> Calling the most engaged nineteenth-century spectators \u201ctheatre fans\u201d is<\/em> a deliberately provocative and political gesture. It allows me to construct<\/em> an analytical framework that questions images of historical spectators and<\/em> contemporary fans and the social role fans played in nineteenth-century<\/em> theatre. The introduction of a fan label into a historical narrative blurs<\/em> the distinction between art and entertainment. It highlights how class<\/em> tastes indicate what is culturally respectable, desirable, and acceptable,<\/em> in scholarship as well as society.<\/em> (p. 7)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
