美国戏剧在新旧批判制度下的命运，在这样做的过程中，对学院，特别是跨学科美国研究的实践者提出了挑战，以纠正这种情况。这种诉求出现在《美国季刊》而不是《美国文学》上，也许是因为美国研究作为一个较新的领域，不仅包括文本、文化理论、观众和戏剧史，还包括社会和文化背景，它可能比文学系更适合对美国戏剧表演进行认真的研究。最近关于美国戏剧的许多最好的奖学金来自历史系：例如，对19世纪美国戏剧的理解有两个显著的贡献，是ASA学者从社会和文化史角度研究戏剧的工作。大卫·格里姆斯特德的《揭开情节剧的面纱：1800-1850年的美国戏剧与文化》（芝加哥：芝加哥大学出版社，1968年）和劳伦斯·莱文的《威廉·莎士比亚与美国人民：文化转型研究》，《美国历史评论》第84期（1984年2月），从剧本、制作历史和观众接受的具体细节出发，对某些戏剧的功能进行了更大的解释，这些戏剧只有部分观众能看到。这两篇文章都为一种新的、综合的美国学术设立了高标准
fortunes of American drama under critical regimes both old and new and in doing so has challenged the academy, and in particular practitioners of interdisciplinary American Studies, to remedy the situation. This appeal has been presented in the pages of American Quarterly rather than American Literature, perhaps because American Studies as a newer field embracing social and cultural contexts as well as texts, cultural theory as well as audience and theatre history, may be better placed than departments of literature to provide serious examination of American drama in performance. Much of the best recent scholarship on American theatre has come from history departments: two notable contributions to the understanding of nineteenth-century American theatre, for example, are the work of ASA scholars approaching the theatre from social and cultural history. David Grimsted's Melodrama Unveiled: American Theater and Culture, 1800-1850 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1968) and Lawrence Levine's "William Shakespeare and the American People: A Study in Cultural Transformation," American Historical Review 84 (February 1984) build from specific details of playscript, production history, and audience reception larger interpretations of the functions of certain dramas for their only partly visible popular audiences. Both pieces set a high standard for a new, integrated scholarship of American
