Reviews

Wattenberg's work is intelligent, well-informed, and wide-ranging, and his analyses of the plays are excellent. It delves in detail into material that has been too often overlooked and underappreciated. There is really nothing like this. --Roger Hall, Professor of Theatre, James Madison University

""The wealth of allusions, ranging from Theodore Roosevelt's role in shaping attitudes about the frontier to the impact of railroads, enlivens the evocation of this crucial decade in American self-definition . . . Recommended."" - CHOICE 'Wattenberg's work is intelligent, well-informed, and wide-ranging, and his analyses of the plays are excellent.
