O knihe

An original examination of the forgotten brothel drama during the Progressive Era, Sisters in Sin recovers a slice of theatre history in demonstrating how the prostitute was central to American realist theatre. Through readings of previously unexamined archival documents and unpublished play scripts, Johnson shows how the prostitute, and her sister in sin - the so-called fallen woman - were obsessions of American Progressive Era culture. Their cumulative presence, in scores of controversial theatrical productions, demonstrates the repeated obsession with the prostitute figure in both highbrow and lowbrow entertainments.
