Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking investigation into the nature and meanings of melodrama in American culture between 1880 and 1920, Ben Singer offers a challenging new reevaluation of early American cinema and the era that spawned it. Singer looks back to the sensational or "blood and thunder" melodramas (e.g., The Perils of Pauline, The Hazards of Helen, etc.) and uncovers a fundamentally modern cultural expression, one reflecting spectacular transformations in the sensory environment of the metropolis, in the experience of capitalism, in the popular imagination of gender, and in the exploitation of the thrill in popular amusement. Written with verve and panache, and illustrated with 100 striking photos and drawings, Singer's study provides an invaluable historical and conceptual map both of melodrama as a genre on stage and screen and of modernity as a pivotal idea in social theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Melodrama in England From 1800 to 1840: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy One of the manifestations of the Romantic Movement in England was the rise and great popularity of melodrama. Because of the paucity of literary attainments that accompanied melodrama, this type of play has been uniformly neglected or else passed over with slight comments. Although it is true that few melodramas deserve mention if style and high dramatic qualities are to be considered, nevertheless, inasmuch as the form has contributed largely to the art of the theatre, the neglect is hard to explain. This investigation of the dramatic and theatrical history of England between the years 1764 and 1840 has been made, therefore, in an attempt to supply some information about an almost unknown group of plays and playwrights. The great variety of forms that melodrama assumed and the great number of methods employed in its manufacture, the many devices that were employed, consciously or unconsciously, to disguise it, have rendered the discovery of entirely satisfactory criteria for its determination, difficult. That difficulty is constantly emphasized by the great number of definitions that have been constructed to designate it. If these difficulties have not been altogether overcome in this study, it is because no one clear cut standard of melodrama existed in the period under consideration, as no single type of melodrama exists today. Throughout the investigation, it was deemed wise to give weight to the statements of the men whose business it was to handle plays and players in the last decades of the eighteenth and the first decades of the nineteenth centuries. If Elliston, Colman, Jerrold, Boaden, or Macready looked upon a certain type of play as a melodrama, surely his judgment reflects the standard of his day as the declarations of Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, Mr. William Archer, or Mr. Owen Davis reflect the standard of ours. A further explanation seems necessary in this foreword. Both the spelling of the word melodrama and the form which the word designated changed often in a few decades. What was true in England was equally true in France whence the English word was borrowed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
