The Performative Commons in the Literature of Early America
Book •
New World Drama: The Performative Commons in the Literature of Early America explores the ways that early American literature developed from and responded to performance traditions.
Elizabeth Maddock Dillon connects theatrical, political, religious, and economic performances to literary and social practices from the colonial period through the early republic.
Dillon shows how theatrical techniques were adapted and redeployed in print media and political rhetoric and how, in turn, performances of economic and political life were shaped by aesthetic categories.
