The Collected Works of Alfred B. Sedgwick

First Published in 1994. This is volume 7 of a 16-volume series providing comprehensive set of works from a full century of musical theatre in the United States of America. The contents of this volume represent the most ubiquitous, yet probably the least well documented or described forms of musical theatre in the United States during the nineteenth century. Alfred B. Sedgwick, this volume's focus, was one of the most prolific published authors of playlets with music especially popular with middle-class families whose ancestors had emigrated from the British Isles.
