from Preface:Repertoire tent shows, which began traveling America in the last half of the 19th century and continued well into the 20th century, brought summer entertainment to thousands of small towns in all part of the country. From 1900 to 1920 tent shows increased in number to form a rather sizeable industry. Development was interwoven with many of the popular amusements of the early century until, carring the traits and the scars of such dversions as the circus, moving pictures, vaudeville, Chautauqua, and touring opera house companies, the repertoire tent show emerges as a distinct form of rural theatrics.

History & Criticism

IMAGES OF WOMEN IN FICTION: FEMINIST PERSPECTIVES was, in 1972, the first anthology of feminist literary criticism ever published. The collection includes such classics as Tillie Olsen's groundbreaking essay, "Silences," two classic essays by Joanna Russ, including the first feminist lit. crit. of science fiction, the first serious articles about the writing of May Sarton, Alix Kates Shulman, and Anna Katharine Green, the first woman to write detective fiction "starring" a female sleuth. It has been in print continuously since 1972. Recognized in feminist literary criticism histories as the "starting place" of feminist literary criticism, the editor's commitment to accessible language makes for a book that is delightfully readable.
