The hand-puppet play starring the characters Punch and Judy was
introduced from England and became extremely popular in the U.S. in
the 1800s. This book contains the record of what the author has
learned about almost 350 American Punch players. And it explores
the significance of the 19th-century American show as a reflection
of the attitudes and conditions of its time and place. The century
was a time of changing feelings about what it means to be human.
There was an intensified awareness of the racial, cultural, social
and economical diversity of the human species, and a corresponding
concern for an understanding and experience of human oneness. The
American Punch and Judy show was one of the manifestations of these
conditions.
