This collection explores the role of gender in the formation of American theatrical culture in this period. It features essays on well-known early American dramatists such as Susanna Rowson or Judith Sargent Murray, but also sheds light on anonymous authors and more obscure theatrical practices.American studies (Transcript (Firm))Theatre; Early America; American Revolution; Gender; Feminism; America; History of Theatre; American Studies; Gender Studies; Theatre Studies;Theatre; Early America; American Revolution; Gender; Feminism; America; History of Theatre; American Studies; Gender Studies; Theatre Studies;792305.42Lippert LeopoldUniversität Wien, ÖsterreichedtPoole Ralph JUniversität Salzburg, ÖsterreichedtBacklisttransformation EOSC FutureMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831590403321The Politics of Gender in Early American Theater4128248UNINA
