The Most American Thing in America : Circuit Chautauqua as Performance (Studies Theatre Hist & Culture)

"The Most American Thing in America is a smart, lively book that brings to life a slice of the past now mostly forgotten and the rest of the time fogged in myth. Canning reminds us of the significant meaning that Chautauquas had for middle-class Americans at the turn of the twentieth century. Everyone from the philosopher William James to the philosopher Elvis Presley had a take on this classic cultural institution, and they're all covered in this fine work."--Kenneth Cmiel, professor of history, University of Iowa
