Content:
Show business is today so essential to American culture it's hard to imagine a time when it was marginal. But as this work demonstrates, the appetite for amusements outside the home was not 'natural': it developed slowly over the course of the nineteenth century. The volume offers a new interpretation of how the taste for entertainment was cultivated. It focuses on the shifting connection between the people who built successful popular entertainments and the public who consumed them.
