Smith was the most prolific writer of librettos for the American musical theatre in history, with nearly half of his 300 works actually opening in New York City. In addition, Smith was instrumental in adapting and popularizing foreign musicals in America, significantly influencing writing and composing styles of American shows. He worked with every major composer in America between 1880 and 1920, and consequently this examination of his work and process is highly instructive of the history of the American musical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Franceschina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415938627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415938624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.38w x 0.98d","brand":"John Franceschina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086668804351,"sku":"9780415938624","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a67bf57-f91a-4865-bb0d-8d7cc67ecb74.jpg?v=1769095920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/harry-b-smith-john-franceschina-9780415938624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
