"The theatrical works of Millay, Cummings, and Dos Passos, which have largely been
marginalized in discussions of theater history and literary scholarship, offer a hybrid
theater that integrates the popular with the formal, the mainstream with the experimental.
Fahy examines the integration of and challenges to popular culture found in their
works and offers new readings with an eye to American cultural studies and the impact
of mass entertainment on modern life"--
