Women on Southern Stages, 1800-1865
Author: Robin O. Warren
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786499273
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Women played an integral role in the theater of the Antebellum and Civil War South. Yet their contributions have largely been overlooked by history. Southern actresses were important public figures who helped mold gender identity through their theatrical performances. Although cast in parts written by men, they subverted the norms of femininity in their public personas and in their personal lives. Educated and often wealthy but never accepted by the landed elite, women distinguished themselves by carving out an in-between class status, and many proved to be sophisticated entrepreneurs. Southern actresses also helped shape racial perceptions and regional politics as the South entered the Civil War.

Book Description
It was in part for this service to the American public at large that Presidents John Tyler and James K. Polk awarded him, late in his life, with an appointment to the Customs House at the Port of New York, where, venerable and white-haired, Cooper held a position during the final years of his life, still a handsome and striking figure as he went about the routine duties of a customs inspector.

Singing the New Nation
Author: E. Lawrence Abel
Publisher: Stackpole Books
ISBN: 0811746763
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Scholarly volumes have been written about the causes of the war, presenting plausible reasons for the bloodbath of the 1860s. The arguments are endless and fascinating. Every generation finds new insight into the times. What has largely been ignored is the role of songs in America’s Civil War. This book chronicles the war’s social history in terms of its seldom discussed musical side, and is told from the perspective of the South. Outmanned and outgunned during the War, the South was certainly not musically bested.
