What is Plays in American Periodicals, 1890-1918 (Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History) about?

<p><p>Between 1890 and 1918, over 125 American, English, Irish and AngloIndian plays by 70 dramatists were published in 14 American general interest periodicals aimed at the middle-class reader and consumer. Ranging from elite publications such as <i>The Atlantic Monthly</i> and <i>Scribner's</i> to more mid-level venues such as <i>McClure's</i> and <i>Everybody's Magazine</i> to progressive magazines such as <i>Arena</i> and <i>Forum</i>, the plays dramatized a wide range of American concerns, including anxieties about "race suicide," immigration, "white slavery," the New Woman, class distinctions, global warfare, and the creation of a unique national identity. These plays show Americans to have been "dis/contented" citizens, conflicted by the demands of a dynamically changing nation.<p></p>
