Spectacular Men
In Spectacular Men, Sarah E. Chinn investigates how working class white men looked to the early American theatre for examples of ideal manhood. Theatre-going was the primary source of entertainment for working people of the early Republic and the Jacksonian period, and plays implicitly and explicitly addressed the risks and rewards of citizenship.

Spectacular Men places the theatre at the center of the self-creation of working white men, as voters, as workers, and as Americans.
