Physical description; 459 pages: illustrations (some color), portraits; 28 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographical references (pages 437-448) and index. Conte…nts; Introduction / Kenneth L. Ames -- The circus Americanized / Janet M. Davis -- The transnational history of the early American circus / Matthew Wittmann -- The American circus in Victorian Britain / Brenda Assael -- American circus posters / Paul Stirton -- Shelburne Museum's Colchester posters and circus advertising / Kory W. Rogers -- The circus parade / Gregory J. Renoff -- Circus music in America / Leon Botstein -- The American circus tent / Fred Dahlinger, Jr. -- Elephants and the American circus / Susan Nance -- Horses and cat acts in the early American circus / Brett Mizelle -- Performed identities as circus illusions / Peter Tait -- The Americanization of the circus clown / Rodney Huey -- The American circus spectacle / Jennifer Lemmer Posey -- The circus in nineteenth-century American children's literature / Ellen Butler Donovan -- Circus toys in the gilded age / Eugene W. Metcalf -- The WPA circus in New York / Susan Weber -- Disability and the circus / Rachel Adams. Summary; The circus is a source of nostalgia for Americans of all ages, either from memories of attending P. T. Barnum's "Greatest Show on Earth," or through the colorful evocations in many movies, television programs, and books. Interest in the circus phenomenon is unflagging, yet there have been few publications that look closely at how the circus's European origins were refashioned for an American audience. Lavishly illustrated and carefully researched, this volume explores how American culture, values, demography, and business practices altered the fundamental nature of the European circus, and how, by the end of the 19th century, they had transformed it into a distinctly American pastime. At the peak of its cultural significance, the circus was a sophisticated combination of theater and business, and made effective use of advertising, train travel, and hyperbole. The subjects in The American Circus reflect this complexity, ranging widely from thematic explorations of circus music and elephants to more closely focused studies of objects such as circus toys, souvenirs, and performers' costumes. The book also explores the dark and even nefarious side of the circus, and its associations with marginalized dimensions of American life and culture. With contributions from leading scholars, this stylishly designed volume aims to identify the salient features of an Americanized cultural product and to analyze its appeal for American audiences.
