Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive examination of American vaudeville from 1870-1940. Using primary sources such as newspapers, articles, and first hand accounts, the author provides an engaging overview of the social, cultural, and economic impact vaudeville had on American life and the development of popular American culture. The narrative follows the evolution of vaudeville from its roots in minstrel shows and saloons to its peak of popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, before its decline and eventual replacement by television and film. The author deftly explores the various themes and ideas that shaped vaudeville, including the fusion of high and low culture; changes in gender roles; the rise and fall of stars; and the impact of immigration. The book makes an important contribution to American cultural history by illuminating the ways vaudeville reflected and shaped the social and cultural landscape.
