The Oxford Handbook of American Drama
Representing Ethnic Identity on the Antebellum Stage, 1825–61
"The volume opens with an exploration of the trials and tribulations of strolling players in the colonial era, before shifting to a discussion of the ways plays were deployed for political ends during the Revolution, most notably by the patriot Mercy Otis Warren. The narrative extends to the post-Revolutionary period when plays were used as vehicles to promote republican virtue. Contributors also explore the vibrant drama to emerge during the nin…
Mercy Otis Warren: Selected Letters
Sati in Philadelphia: The Widow(s) of Malabar
David Humphreys's 1790 play, The Widow of Malabar, has been little studied, but it demonstrates surprising complexity as a cultural artifact of the American new republic. Written as a close adaptation of Antoine-Marin Lemierre's La Veuve du Malabar (1770), Humphreys's version appeared in Philadelphia and New York as a vehicle of American social liberality toward women, developing a theme barely visible in Lemierre, and as the rare product of an A…
The Adventures of Emmera, the Transatlantic Novel, and the Fiction of America
The Adventures of Emmera, the Transatlantic Novel, and the Fiction of America Jeffrey H. Richards (bio) In a recent article, Stephen Carl Arch has challenged the continuing critical and pedagogical limitations on what constitutes the American novel, despite the attention given to transatlantic concerns within the discipline of early American studies. Classes on the novel, he claims, cling tightly to "the old critical chestnut" that the first Amer…

Revolution, Domestic Life, and the End of "Common Mercy" in Crevecoeur's "Landscapes
EW Revolutionary-era writers defy categorization as resolutely as Michel Guillaume Jean-de-Crevecoeur. Best known for his book Letters from an American Farmer (I782),1 Crevecoeur wrote several essays, sketches, and other short works in English that remained in manuscript until I925 or, in a few cases, until I995. One of those fugitive pieces, a collection of dramatic scenes entitled Landscapes (I776 or I777), is a bitter, deeply ironic denunciati…
A Women's Dilemma: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution
Spectacular Politics: Theatrical Power and Mass Culture in Early Modern England
Theater Enough: American Culture and the Metaphor of the World Stage, 1607- 1789
The early settlers in America had a special relationship to the theater. Though largely without a theater of their own, they developed an ideology of theater that expressed their sense of history, as well as their version of life in the New World. Theater Enough provides an innovative analysis of early American culture by examining the rhetorical shaping of the experience of settlement in the new land through the metaphor of theater. The rhetoric…
