Product Information
Pioneer Performances offers the first synoptic treatment of the history of American frontier performance ranging from Jacksonian America to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show at the Columbian Exposition of 1893. It reconceives how the frontier was-and still is-defined in performance, and what it means for that frontier to be called "American. "

Reviews
"A thoroughly innovative new account of nineteenth-century U.S. theater culture that simultaneously revises our understanding of that old American Studies fetish, the 'frontier.' Surprising and engrossing." --Eric Lott, author ofLove & Theft "Pioneer Performancestreks through American culture at its most colorful and disquieting, from minstrel shows to melodramas and Buffalo Bill to George W. Bush. Rebhorn overturns our stereotypes about the frontier by proving that it was not a place but a performative practice that was constantly being contested on the stages of Boston, New York, and other cities. He thereby allows us to see the central role these frontier performances played in creating the fantasy about what it means to be an American." --David Savran, author ofHighbrow/Lowdown: Theater, Jazz, and the Making of the NewMiddle Class "Drawing on plays familiar and little-known from the nineteenth century,Pioneer Performancespresents an original and persuasive argument about the performative nature of frontier drama and its lasting importance for American culture." --S. E. Wilmer, author ofTheatre, Society and the Nation:Staging American Identities "A revisionist take on frontier theatre history,Pioneer Performancesnarrates some challenging case studies. Rebhorn usefully complicates our usual readings of Forrest'sMetamoraand early minstrelsy's investment in frontier mythology, for example." --Bruce McConachie, author ofMelodramaticFormations: American Theatre and Society, 1820-1870 "Pioneer Performancesoffers an imaginative reinterpretation of performances that have reconfigured our notions of the frontier, ranging from the early nineteenth-century dramaMetamora, to blackface minstrelsy, to the twenty-first century filmBrokeback Mountain. Scholars of nineteenth-century theatre and culture will appreciate Rebhorn's contribution to the ongoing dialogue around this complex topic." --Heather S. Nathans, author ofSlavery and Sentiment on the American Stage, 1787-1861, "A thoroughly innovative new account of nineteenth-century U.S. theater culture that simultaneously revises our understanding of that old American Studies fetish, the 'frontier.'

Scholars of nineteenth-century theatre and culture will appreciate Rebhorn's contribution to the ongoing dialogue around this complex topic." --Heather S. Nathans, author of Slavery and Sentiment on the American Stage, 1787-1861"Has the potential to make readers rethink much of what they thought they knew about the nineteenth-century theater and points to the continued need for scholarship in this vein." --Great Plains Quarterly"Among the most important projects of American studies scholarship are (1) the recovery and (2) the rereading of forgotten and elided texts, to help us better see those works; and (3) the historicizing and (4) the contextualizing of those texts, to help us better understand our national pasts and present. A book that produces exemplary versions of even two of these projects contributes a great deal to our collective narratives; a book that produces versions of three is rarer and more impressive still. Matthew Rebhorn's book entirely succeeds at the first three, and then adds a coda that more briefly but still compellingly addresses the fourth." -- ALH Online Review, "A thoroughly innovative new account of nineteenth-century U.S. theater culture that simultaneously revises our understanding of that old American Studies fetish, the 'frontier.'
