Summary "Representative Plays by American Dramatists: 1765-1819" by Montrose Jonas Moses is a scholarly collection of plays written during the late 18th to early 19th centuries. This book focuses on American drama, reflecting the evolving social and artistic landscape of early America. It serves to highlight works that were influential in shaping American theatrical traditions and explores the historical context in which these plays were created. The collection features an array of representative works, including plays by notable figures such as Royall Tyler and William Dunlap, spanning topics from colonial experiences to emerging American identities. Each play is accompanied by an introduction that contextualizes its significance within the broader narrative of American theater, emphasizing shifts in social customs and the development of dramatic techniques. As such, the book not only preserves these early works but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding the critical role of drama in American cultural history.
