Colonizing the Nonestic Ocean: Sweet Dictators and Imperial Pirates in L. Frank Baum’s Glinda of Oz (1920) and Ruth Plumly Thompson’s Captain Salt in Oz (1936) In 1921, one year after the posthumous publication of L. Frank Baum’s fourteenth book length “Oz” story, his publisher, Reilly & Lee, released The Royal Book of Oz, the first of nineteen additional sequels by Ruth Plumly Thompson which would appear every year through 1939. As many critics have noted, Thompson helped keep “Oz” alive as a marketable commodity, satisfying young readers’ expectations of a new “Oz” book every Christmas. These new sequels share many surface similarities to Baum’s originals, featuring explorations of new magical kingdoms in the fictitious Nonestic Ocean and/or battles to fight off would-be conquerors of Oz. Nevertheless, on closer examination, there are some rather marked literary and ideological differences between “Oz” as interpreted by Baum and Thompson, which may account for Baum’s more enduring popularity and continued interest among scholars. At times, Baum’s books seem contradictory, particularly in apparent attitudes towards politics, racial and social equality, and gender roles. However, in spite of occasional lapses, Baum’s “Oz” strives to be a utopia in which all individuals—regardless of class, race, or gender—are valued. Ironically, Thomp- son’s “Oz” privileges the upper classes, branding various racial groups as “other,” and values males over females—undermining the primarily matriarchal government of “Oz.” An examination of Baum’s Glinda of Oz and Thompson’s Captain Salt in Oz, books with similar overall plots, highlights Thompson’s transfor- mation of Baum’s Utopia into a land intent on “taking possession of new countries” and setting “the flag of Oz on far islands and mountain tops.” .

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum</H1>
The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum THE TIN WOODMAN OF OZ A Faithful Story of the Astonishing Adventure Undertaken by the Tin Woodman, assisted by Woot the Wanderer, the Scarecrow of Oz, and Polychrome, the Rainbow's Daughter by L. FRANK BAUM "Royal historian of Oz" This Book is dedicated to the son of my son Frank Alden Baum page 1 / 250 TO MY READERS I know that some of you have been waiting for this story of the Tin Woodman, because many of my correspondents have asked me, time and again what ever became of the "pretty Munchkin girl" whom Nick Chopper was engaged to marry before the Wicked Witch enchanted his axe and he traded his flesh for tin. I, too, have wondered what became of her, but until Woot the Wanderer interested himself in the matter the Tin Woodman knew no more than we did. However, he found her, after many thrilling adventures, as you will discover when you have read this story. I am delighted at the continued interest of both young and old in the Oz stories. A learned college professor recently wrote me to ask: "For readers of what age are your books intended?" It puzzled me to answer that properly, until I had looked over some of the letters I have received. One says: "I'm a little boy 5 years old, and I Just love your Oz stories. My sister, who is writing this for me, reads me the Oz books, but I wish I could read them myself." Another letter says: "I'm a great girl 13 years old, so you'll be surprised when I tell you I am not too old yet for the Oz stories." Here's another letter: "Since I was a young girl I've never missed getting a Baum book for page 2 / 250 Christmas.
