In the late nineteenth century, melodramas were spectacular entertainment for Americans. They were also a key forum in which elements of American culture were represented, contested, and inverted. This book focuses on the Mormon villain in anti-Mormon melodramas and analyses what these melodramas reveal about American identity in the nineteenth century.
