- W2324583618 abstract "The extensive literature on the American circus has contributed to a largely negative reputation of this institution, in existence in the United States since the 1790s, by emphasizing its crass commercialism, primarily a result of size and spectacle rather than refined beauty or skill. With some notable exceptions, until the mid-1970s most studies of the U.S. circus were largely anecdotal, lacking in documentation, compiled by an eager and active fan base, and rarely analytical or seen in a context larger than the circus itself.This volume, the latest attempt to examine the American circus's character and history, is a noteworthy addition to the growing number of serious studies, part of a shift that began in 1976 with Stuart Thayer's self-published and modestly circulated multivolume history of the early American circus. Between 1932 and 1990 five one-volume survey histories appeared, the two most notable in 1990: John Culhane's The American Circus: An Illustrated History and LaVahn G. Hoh and William H. Rough's Step Right Up!." @default.
