Mendel's theatreheredity, eugenics, and early twentieth-century American drama /
Wolff, Tamsen.

Mendel's theatreheredity, eugenics, and early twentieth-century American drama /[electronic resource] :Mendel's theaterTamsen Wolff. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - 278 p. :ill. ;22 cm. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history..

Includes bibliographical references (p. [245]-265) and index.

Predecessors : Ibsen, Strindberg, Shaw, Brieux, and heredity -- Frompeas to people : theatre and the American eugenics movement -- Experimental breeding ground : Susan Glaspell, mutation, maternity, and The verge -- Branching out from the family tree : bloodlines and Eugene O'Neill's Strange interlude -- A genealogy of American theatre : Show boat, Angelina Weld Grimkâe's Rachel, and the black body.

Mendel's Theatre uncovers the rich convergence of scientific theories of heredity, the American eugenics movement, and innovative modern drama from the 1890s to 1930. Obsessions with heredity played out in verydifferent kinds of theatre in the modern period, from fairground exhibits to the plays of prominent European modern dramatists like Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, and George BernardShaw. The rise of vital American dramatists like Susan Glaspell and Eugene O'Neill took place against this backdrop and alongside the now forgotten but extremely popular eugenics movement in America at the time. Mendel's Theatre tells that story.
