Primarily responsible for the popularity of "blood and thunder" melodramas with working class audiences in New York City, Hamblin discovered, trained and promoted many young actors and, especially, actresses who later became famous in their own right. He also epitomized the "sporting man" of mid-nineteenth century life, conducting a scandalous series of affairs and visits to Manhattan brothels, which cost him his marriage to Elizabeth Blanchard Hamblin (1799-1849) and made him the brunt of moralist, religious and journalistic crusades, notably that of James Gordon Bennett's New York Herald. His machinations and perseverance through trying challenges, including several destructions of the Bowery Theatre by fire, extensive financial and legal complications, and the untimely deaths of several young prot#65533;g#65533;es, earned him equal measures of admiration and opprobrium. 000825201 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000825201 650_0 $$aTheater$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory. 000825201 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBogar, Thomas A., 1948-$$tThomas Hamblin and the Bowery Theatre.$$dCham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, [2018]$$z3319684051$$w(OCoLC)1001976200 000825201 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in theatre and performance history. 000825201 852__ $$bebk 000825201 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-68406-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000825201 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:825201$$pGLOBAL_SET 000825201 980__ $$aEBOOK 000825201 980__ $$aBIB 000825201 982__ $$aEbook 000825201 983__ $$aOnline 000825201 994__ $$a92$$bISE
