Bronson Howard, Dean of American Dramatists

by Lloyd Anton Frerer

A poet, playwright, and author of a text on stage direction writes a biography of the life and work of Bronson Crocker Howard (1842-1908), a prolific American playwright who, while nationally and internationally recognized and lauded in his own era, has been largely neglected by modern scholars. Frerer examines Howard's career and reputation, generally in chronological order, focusing predominantly on the playwright's work rather than on the historical context in which he wrote.
