In American Drama: The Bastard Art, Susan Harris Smith looks at the many often conflicting cultural and academic reasons for the neglect and dismissal of American drama as a legitimate literary form. Covering a wide range of topics - theatrical performance, the rise of nationalist feeling, the creation of academic disciplines, and the development of sociology - Smith's study is a contentious and revisionist historical inquiry into the troubled cultural and canonical status of American drama, both as a literary genre and as a mirror of American society.
America at the last fin de siecle was in a period of profound
societal transition. Industrialization was well under way and with
it a burgeoning sense of professionalism and a growing middle class
that was becoming increasingly anxious about issues of race,
gender, and class. "The American 1890s: A Cultural Reader" is a
wide-ranging anthology of essays, criticism, and fiction first
printed in periodicals during those last remarkable years of the
nineteenth century, a decade commonly referred to as the "golden
age" of periodical culture.
