    Howard Temperley, C W E Bigsby et al.BOOKNew Introduction to American…2014

    A New Introduction to American Studies provides a coherent portrait of American history, literature, politics, culture and society, and also deals with some of the central themes and preoccupations of American life. It will provoke students into thinking about what it actually means to study a culture.

    Open AccessC W E Bigsby, Christopher BigsbyARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1989

    TEN YEARS AGO I WROTE AN ARTICLE FOR AMERICAN QUARTERLY DEPLORING the relative disregard of the American theatre, more especially in America. I itemized its neglect by scholarly journals, cultural histories and critical studies. I was scarcely the first to make this point. Year after year, in American Literary Scholarship, Walter Meserve had lamented the lack of attention paid to American drama. That Susan Harris should be echoing this in 1988 sh…

    Open AccessC W E Bigsby, Christopher BigsbyARTICLEJournal of American Studies1979

    Lionel Trilling once observed that there are certain individuals who contain the “ yes ” and “ no ” of their culture, whose personal ambivalences become paradigmatic. This would seem to be an apt description of a man whose first novel was published twenty-five years ago, a man whose career has described a neat and telling parabola and whose contradictions go to the heart of an issue which dominated the political and cultural life of mid-century A…

  • Drama as Cultural Sign

    Open AccessC W E Bigsby, Christopher BigsbyARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1978

    way that is less true of other genres. Unlike the novel it speaks in the present tense, and the sense of shared experience which derives from this makes it a sensitive instrument for plotting changes in cultural pressure, for responding to changing ideological, social, and aesthetic moods.
