| Abstract | Prepared as part of a project aimed at redressing the neglect of American drama in college and secondary school programs in drama, American literature, and American studies, this booklet provides primary and secondary source materials to assist teachers and students in the study of James K. Paulding's nineteenth century comedy, "The Lion of the West." The first part of the booklet contains (1) a discussion of the Yankee theatre, plays written around a character embodying uniquely American characteristics and featuring specialist American actors; (2) a review of the genesis of the play; (3) its production history; (4) plot summaries of its various versions; (5) its early reviews; (6) biographies of actors appearing in various productions; and (7) a discussion of acting in period plays. The second part of the booklet deals with the real people depicted in the play, specifically Davy Crockett and Mrs. Frances Trollope. In addition, this section discusses the place of the play in American literary history and offers questions to promote class discussion. (FL) |
