THE POLITICS OF GENDER IN EARLY AMERICAN THEATE...

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries  the American theater emerged as a crucial cultural
space for debates around gender stereotypes  gendered conduct  sexual desire  the politics of
intimacy and domesticity  female authorship  as well as the complex intersections of gender and
other markers of cultural difference  such as race  ethnicity  socioeconomic class  age  or
nation. This collection explores the role of gender in the formation of American theatrical
culture in this period. It features essays on well-known early American dramatists such as
Susanna Rowson or Judith Sargent Murray  but also sheds light on anonymous authors and more
obscure theatrical practices.
