From the editor's foreword: "The territorial expansion of the British Empire to the four corners of the earth was accompanied by the spread of the dominant entertainment form from the home front – the music hall. Drawing extensively on the increasingly digitised colonial press, Andrew Horrall has been able to trace the pattern and effects of the expansion of the music hall until it became as much the popular culture of the empire as it was of Britain."
An evolution of the image of a caveman in public perception, up to the modern pop-culture image: "bare-footed, wild-haired and bearded, with rough animal-hide clothes half-covering his body and a stout wooden club in his hand", arguing that its roots lie in the mid-19th century "gorilla cartoons".
