Pennsylvania, first home of the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution, has a tradition of political progress. However, along
with the good, the political playground of Pennsylvania has also
seen the brazenly bad behavior of its political leaders. For over
twenty-five years, political columnist John Baer has had a
front-row seat to the foibles and follies of the Keystone State's
political system. Baer takes readers through his memories of
covering state politics for the last quarter century, from
Democratic governor Milton Shapp's short-lived run for
president--in which he finished behind "no preference" in the
Florida primary--to highlights of some of the game-changing
campaign missteps and maneuvers that moved administrations in and
out of the capital. With a delightfully gruff wit, Baer gives
readers a behind-the-scenes view of the politics and personalities
that have passed through Harrisburg.
In September of 1809 during the opening night of Macbeth at the
newly rebuilt Covent Garden theatre the audience rioted over the
rise in ticket prices. Disturbances took place on the following
sixty-six nights that autumn and the Old Price riots became the
longest running theatre disorder in English history. This book
describes the events in detail, sets them in their wider context,
and uses them to examine the interpenetration of theatre and
disorder. Previous understandings of the riots are substantially
revised by stressing populist rather than class politics. Baer
concentrates on the theatricality of audiences, the role of the
stage in shaping English self-image and the relationship between
contention and consensus. In so doing, theatre and theatricality
are rediscovered as explanations for the cultural and political
structures of the Georgian period. Based on meticulous research in
theatre and governmental records, newspapers, private
correspondence, and satirical prints and other ephemera, this study
is an unusually interesting and original contribution to the social
and political history of early 19th-century Britain.
