Drama, Theatre, and Identity in the American New Republic
investigates the way in which theatre both reflects and shapes the
question of identity in post-revolutionary American culture. 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.
