The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Lastly, we come upon perhaps the best known actor of the Civil War era, John Wilkes Booth. Of course, the reason memory allows us to recall the name is not because of the merits achieved through his profession, but rather because he murdered the elected executive official – United States President Abraham Lincoln. Booth, a product of a theater family, was a dramatic, eccentric, and impatient being. He wanted the leading roles, did not want to prepare the role, but to simply play the role.

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Did the theater work to benefit the causes for north or south, dependent upon region? Sautter stated that this phenomenon was less common than many might expect.

En Subject Stages, Carrión estudia la relación entre las leyes de la España contra reformista del XVI y XVII, el teatro y la institución del matrimonio. Yéndose en contra de la propuesta de José Antonio Maravall de que el teatro de la época era un mecanismo de propaganda de la monarquía absolutista católica, Carrión propone, a través del ejemplo del matrimonio, que varios escenarios públicos—incluyendo el teatro—resistían prescripciones diseñadas por la ideología dominante. Carrión trabaja sobre la premisa de que tanto los espacios legales (cortes judiciales), como los espacios teatrales (escenarios) de la España de la época revelan la existencia …
