Inhaltsangabe

In this new edition of Modern American Drama, Bigsby completes his survey of postwar theatre and brings the reader up to 2000. While retaining the key elements of the first edition, Bigsby also explores works by relatively new playwrights Paula Vogel, Tony Kushner, and Terrence McNally among others.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

From the first edition: 'This is both a biographical history of the American playwrights treated, and a highly perceptive factual rendering of the development of American drama in the past half century. I believe it will be invaluable both for its insights into plays and authors and the interplay of social forces working through them ... Bigsby has, in effect, read the evolving American spirit through its theatre. It is a work of enormous encyclopaedic breadth, reaching out into the myriad byways of American theatre, encompassing all its styles and approaches, but always with an eye to the central preoccupation of all serious theatre, the nation's mysterious soul.' Arthur Miller
