Explore the history of public spectacle with Stunts of Late Nineteenth-Century New York: Aestheticised Precarity, Endangered Liveness. Published by Routledge, this academic work examines how stunts emerged across the media, politics, sport, and art of New York at the turn of the twentieth century. This book investigates how risky performances addressed social anxieties and fantasies regarding work, freedom, and the commodification of human life. It looks at how these acts affected different gendered, raced, and classed bodies during a transformative era. Readers will find detailed case studies covering a wide range of historical spectacles. These include bridge jumping, extreme walking contests, and cycling feats. The text also explores the role of stunt journalists, such as the famous Nellie Bly, to provide a comprehensive look at the era of high-stakes performance.
