Festival Days

byJo Ann Beard

Jo Ann Beard uses Festival Days to explore the festival days, moving beyond a simple overview to reveal the forces working underneath. Drawing on biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, the narrative gives Festival Days a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the festival days becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within biography & autobiography and drama. Festival Days ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
