The selections are intended to foster comfort with working through the combination of firsthand accounts, manuscripts, and marketing jargon that comprise research into the historical record of the circus. These varied sources also point to the intersection of entertainment and culture, situating the traveling circus as a mirror showing something of the character of the society it entertained.
