You know his work--Show Boat, Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King and I. But you don't really know Oscar Hammerstein II, the man who, more than anyone else, invented the American musical. Among the most commercially successful artists of his time, he was a fighter for social justice who constantly prodded his audiences to be better than they were. Diving deep into Hammerstein's life, examining his papers and his lyrics, critic Laurie Winer shows how he orchestrated a collective reimagining of America, urging it forward with a subtly progressive vision of the relationship between country and city, rich and poor, America and the rest of the world. His rejection of bitterness, his openness to strangers, and his optimistic humor shaped not only the musical but the American dream itself. His vision can continue to be a touchstone to this day."--Dust jacket. 600 10 $a Hammerstein, Oscar, $c II, $d 1895-1960 $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000117358007 650 0 $a Librettists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Musical films $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Musicals $z United States $x History. 600 17 $a Hammerstein, Oscar, $c II, $d 1895-1960. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802247 650 7 $a Musical films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030715 650 7 $a Musicals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030814 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024928.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230404010851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=062A2888C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
