An essential introductory textbook that guides students through 300
years of American plays, as well as their remarkable engagement
with texts from across the Atlantic. Divided into seven historical
periods, Jacqueline Foertsch offers unique overviews of 38 American
plays and their reception, from Robert Hunter's Androboros (c.1714)
to Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton (2015). Each historical section
begins with an overseas play that proved influential to American
playwrights in that period, demonstrating to students an
astonishing dialogue taking place across the Atlantic. This is an
ideal core text for modules on American Drama - or a supplementary
text for broader modules on American Literature - which may be
offered at the upper levels of an undergraduate literature, drama,
theatre studies or American studies degree. In addition it is a
crucial resource for students who may be studying American drama as
part of a taught postgraduate degree in literature, drama or
American studies. Accompanying online resources for this title can
be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/american-drama. These
resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using
this textbook and are available at no extra cost.
