Playtime: Fin de Siècle Children's theatre/drama in Canada at the turn of the 20th century.

This course studies children’s and youth dramas/theatre in Canada during the first golden age of children’s literature – the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It examines how these plays inculcate normative sexual identities, genders, and sexuality in children and express the cultural influence of emergent psychologies as they reflect scientific racism, social engineering, and sexual degeneracy.
