  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> This book addresses a neglected area of American drama and theatre studies, plays that were identified with the Progressive Era, specifically the subgenre of the slum play. Westgate elucidates the tension between what he defines as the tourism and the sociological narratives of these plays. </jats:p>
