In this 2005 book Richards examines a variety of phenomena connected to the stage, including closet Revolutionary political plays, British drama on American boards, American-authored stage plays, and poetry and fiction by early Republican writers. American theatre is viewed by Richards as a transatlantic hybrid in which British theatrical traditions in writing and acting provide material and templates by which Americans see and express themselves and their relationship to others. Through intensive analyses of plays both inside and outside of the early American 'canon', this book confronts matters of political, ethnic and cultural identity by moving from play text to theatrical context and from historical event to audience demography. 410 0$aCambridge studies in American theatre and drama ;$v22. 517 3 $aDrama, Theatre, & Identity in the American New Republic 606 $aTheater and society$zUnited States 606 $aTheater$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aNational characteristics, American 615 0$aTheater and society 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 676 $a306.48480973 700 $aRichards$b Jeffrey H.$0958032 712 02$aProQuest (Firm) 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248272903316 996 $aDrama, theatre, and identity in the American New Republic$92314755 997 $aUNISA
