Representative Plays by American Dramatists

This volume of Representative Plays by American Dramatists draws on the work of Oliver Bell Bunce (1828-1890), the New York playwright, editor, and author of the once-famous etiquette book Don’t. The collection preserves early American stage plays that would otherwise be lost, the working repertory of the nineteenth-century American theatre before it found a literature of its own. Such anthologies are primary sources for the history of American drama. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
