American Drama, 1714-1915 from ProQuest

Posted on Thursday, 22 January 2009

American Drama is the only electronic collection to bring together--in fully-searchable electronic format--such an extensive and inclusive compilation of American dramatic literature.

Within the single resource are all the nationalities that formed the beginning of early American drama, as well as the ethnicities who contributed unique sensibilities to the dramatic canon of the U.S. Both men and women playwrights are exhaustively presented. Researchers and students can find the first American play written, the first American play to be peformed on an American stage: the first African American play, and the first play written and published by an American woman.

ProQuest say that eduPersonScopedAffiliation is preferred.
