Examining various historical and recurring types, such as spinsters, schoolmarms, presumed sexual deviants, radicals and communists, fascists, and emasculated men teachers, Wilson shines the spotlight on both well-known and nearly-forgotten plays. The analysis draws on a range of scholars from cultural and gender studies, queer theory, and critical race discourses to consider teacher characters within notable education movements and periods of political upheaval. Richly illustrated, the book will appeal to theatre scholars and general readers as it delves into plays and performances that reflect cultural fears, desires, and fetishistic fantasies associated with educators. In the process, the scrutiny on the array of characters may help illuminate current attacks on real-life teachers while providing meaningful opportunities for intervention in the ongoing education wars. James F. Wilson is the Executive Officer of the Theatre and Performance Program at the Graduate Center, CUNY, USA. His work has appeared in several chapter anthologies and academic journals, and he is the author of Bulldaggers, Pansies, and Chocolate Babies: Race, Performance, and Sexuality in the Harlem Renaissance (2010). 001482749 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001482749 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism.$$0(DLC)sh 87003937 001482749 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism.$$0(DLC)sh 87003937 001482749 650_0 $$aTeachers in literature. 001482749 650_0 $$aFailure (Psychology) in literature. 001482749 650_0 $$aRadicalism in literature. 001482749 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482749 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWILSON, JAMES F.$$tFAILURE, FASCISM, AND TEACHERS IN AMERICAN THEATRE.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2023$$z3031340124$$w(OCoLC)1377582417 001482749 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in theatre and performance history,$$x2947-5775 001482749 852__ $$bebk 001482749 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-34013-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482749 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482749$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482749 980__ $$aBIB 001482749 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482749 982__ $$aEbook 001482749 983__ $$aOnline 001482749 994__ $$a92$$bISE
