Description

This scholarly work examines how slum plays shaped perceptions of poverty and urban life in American theatre during the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing on archival research, reception theory, and cultural histories of slumming, the author analyses how theatrical productions of slum narratives served as enactments of emergent definitions of the slum and their corresponding ethical implications. The book combines traditional historical methods with critical theory to explore literary representations of poverty on stage, offering valuable insights into popular dramaturgy and entertainment culture from 1890 to 1916. Essential reading for scholars investigating the intersection of theatre, class, ethnicity, sexuality, and social representation in American performance history.
