Irish Stereotypes in Vaudeville, 1865-1905, Hardback Book

Irish Stereotypes in Vaudeville, 1865-1905 Hardback

Part of the Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History series

Hardback

Description

Vaudeville is often viewed as the source of some of the crude stereotypes that positioned the Irish immigrant in America as the antithesis of native-born American citizens.

Using primary archival material, Mooney argues that the vaudeville stage was an important venue in which an Irish-American identity was constructed, negotiated, and refined.
