Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the genre of writing popular for programs, advertisements, and posters used to promote and describe circuses: the circus press release. The author argues that this writing often uses an artistic literary style that disguises a lack of substance, despite its superficial charm and appealing imagery. In fact, he argues, the exaggerated claims of these press releases create a false sense of faith, making them more religious than moral. The book discusses the paradoxical combination of reactionary and futuristic elements that characterize circus performances, and the way in which the press releases for these events reflect that blend. The book concludes by suggesting that this use of literary devices is a form of poetry in its own right, and that the genre is a unique and fascinating part of the history of both literature and popular culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
