The Broadway Anthology is a book published in 1917 and written by Edward L. Bernays. It is a comprehensive collection of essays, articles, and reviews on the history and development of Broadway theatre in New York City. The book covers the period from the early 19th century to the early 20th century, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of the evolution of Broadway theatre. The book is divided into five parts, each of which covers a different period in the history of Broadway. Part one covers the early years of Broadway, from its beginnings as a collection of theatres in Lower Manhattan to its establishment as a major cultural institution in the mid-19th century. Part two covers the golden age of Broadway, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, when Broadway theatre reached its peak in popularity and artistic achievement. Part three covers the decline of Broadway in the 1920s and 1930s, when the rise of Hollywood and the Great Depression led to a decrease in the number of productions and audiences. Part four covers the revival of Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, when a new generation of playwrights, directors, and actors brought new life to the theatre. Finally, part five covers the contemporary period, from the 1960s to the present day, and explores the ways in which Broadway has continued to evolve and adapt to changing cultural and social trends. Throughout the book, Bernays provides insightful commentary on the cultural, social, and economic factors that have shaped Broadway theatre, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of American theatre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
