Performing the Temple of Liberty

Om Performing the Temple of Liberty

ENGJenna M. Gibbs explores the world of theatrical and related print production on both sides of the Atlantic in an age of remarkable political and social change. Her deeply researched study of working-class and middling entertainment covers the period of the American Revolution through the first half of the nineteenth century, examining controversies over the place of black people in the Anglo-American moral imagination. Taking a transatlantic and nearly century-long view, Performing the Temple of Liberty draws on a wide range of performed texts as well as ephemera―broadsides, ballads, and cartoons―and traces changes in white racial attitudes. The book will appeal to readers across disciplinary lines of history, literature, theater history, and culture studies. Scholars and students interested in slavery and abolition, British and American politics and culture, and Atlantic history will also take an interest in this provocative work.RUSДженна Гиббс исследует мир театральной и связанной с ней печатной продукции по обе стороны Атлантики в период Американской революции и первой половины XIX века, рассматривая споры о месте темнокожих людей в англо-американском культурном пространстве. Гиббс задается вопросом, как популярные развлечения включали в себя и помогали определить концепции свободы и естественных прав и осознать зло рабства. Эта история оказывается нелестной ни для Соединенных Штатов, ни для Великобритании. Аk
