This academic Book, "Entertaining Crisis in the Atlantic Imperium, 1770–1790," examines the interplay between 18th-century British theatre, newspapers, and the political climate, particularly concerning the American Revolution. The author analyzes various theatrical productions and news coverage to explore how entertainment and media shaped public opinion and national identity during a period of significant imperial crisis. The study focuses on specific events, such as John Burgoyne's Fête Champêtre and Captain John André's Mischianza, to illuminate the complex relationship between social practices, political anxieties, and artistic representations. By examining these sources, the author argues for a nuanced understanding of how the media of the time functioned and how they both reflected and shaped the shifting cultural landscape of the British Empire.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Entertaining-Crisis-Atlantic-Imperium-1770-1790-ebook/dp/B07DFMMXM1?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=2c70064d59136d280eb2c040f864fffb&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
