Weird and Wonderful by Andrea Stulman Dennett
Dioramas and panoramas, freaks and magicians, waxworks and menageries, obscure relics and stuffed animals - a dazzling assortment of curiosities attracted the gaze of the nineteenth-century spectator at the dime museum. This title recaptures this ephemeral and scarcely documented institution of American culture from the margins of history.A teacher, actor, and director, Andrea Stulman Dennett received her Ph.D. in Performance Studies from New York University. She has written on many aspects of popular entertainment from television talk shows to disaster spectacles at the turn of the century.
