Exploring the performance of masculinity on and off the nineteenth-century American stage, this book looks at the shift from the passionate muscularity to intellectual restraint as not a linear journey toward national refinement; but a multitude of masculinities fighting simultaneously for dominance and recognition.
Karl M. Kippola is an assistant professor of Theatre at American University, USA and has been a professional actor and director for the last twenty-five years.
