Scarecrow Press. Paperback. Very Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The 50-year period from 1880 to 1929 is the richest era for theater in American history certainly in the great number of plays produced and artists who contributed significantly but also in the centrality of theater in the lives of Americans. As the impact of European modernism began to gradually seep into American theater during the 1880s and quite importantly in the 1890s more traditional forms of theater gave way to futurism symbolism surrealism and expressionism. American playwrights like Eugene O'Neill George Kelly Elmer Rice Philip Barry and George S. Kaufman ushered in the Golden Age of American drama. The A to Z of American Theater: Modernism focuses on legitimate drama both as influenced by European modernism and as impacted by the popular entertainment that also enlivened the era. This is accomplished through a chronology an introductory essay a bibliography and hundreds of cross-referenced entries on plays; music; playwrights; great performers like Maude Adams Otis Skinner Julia Marlowe and E.H. Sothern; producers like David Belasco Daniel Frohman and Florenz Ziegfeld; critics; architects; designers; and costumes. Scarecrow Press paperback
