Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This penetrating survey covers the most creative of the Anglo-Irish modern playwrights, beginning with George Bernard Shaw and including the avant-garde dramatists of the 1960s. Emil Roy, an expert in British drama, is the author of "Christopher Fry," " "previously published in this series.Roy devotes individual chapters to Shaw, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, and Sean O Casey. He discusses T. S. Eliot and Christopher Fry together, since Fry is Eliot s disciple in poetic drama. And in his concluding chapter, entitled The Moderns, he provides an examination of John Osborne, John Arden, Harold Pinter, Arnold Wesker, and John Whiting.Up-to-date and concise, the book thus affords a view of the best of modern British drama."
