Opis

This first full-length study of early American Gothic drama examines the relationship between Gothic plays and the developing society in which they flourished. It discusses topics ranging from the novelty of American artistic talent and critical opinions of Gothic melodramas to the representation of women in the dramas as compared with the reality of the contemporary female plight.
