    An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 3

    Issues of identity have always been central to the American musical in all its guises.

    An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 1

    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    The American musical is a paradox. On stage or screen, musicals at once hold a dominant and a contested place in the worlds of entertainment, art, and scholarship.
