Publisher Comments:A fresh, revealing look at American drama between the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. This collection of eight plays introduces readers to an important and neglected area of American literature. English professor Jeffrey Richards points out how these "melodramas" offer insights into our cultural history and also embody themes and styles still echoed today.
