The book undertakes a detailed examination of the reception of the plays in the New York-London-Dublin theatre triangle which Boucicault inhabited. Interpreting theatre history as a sociocultural phenomenon that closely approximates social history, McFeely examines the different social and political worlds in which the plays were produced, demonstrating that the complex politics of reception of the plays cannot be separated from the social and political implications of colonialism at that time. The study argues for a shift in focus from the politics of the plays, and their author, to the politics of the auditorium and the press, or the politics of reception. It is within that complex and shifting field of stage, theatre and public media that Boucicault's performance as playwright, actor and publicist is interpreted"-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Boucicault, Dion, $d 1820-1890 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 7 $a DRAMA / Continental European. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103024226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D339596F71F11E185565BE26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
