Description

Stunts of Late Nineteenth-Century New York: Aestheticised Precarity, Endangered Liveness examines how risky performances emerged across media, politics, sport and art in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. This scholarly work investigates stunts through case studies including bridge jumping, extreme walking contests, stunt journalism by figures like Nellie Bly, and cycling feats such as Annie Londonderry's groundbreaking rides. The book demonstrates how these dangerous acts tapped into period anxieties and fantasies surrounding work, freedom, gendered and raced bodies, and the commodification of human life. Published by Routledge, this academic text explores the intersection of performance, risk and social meaning in one of America's most dynamic urban centres during a transformative era.
