Produktbeschreibung

This is the first collection of scholarly essays dedicated to an assessment of this playwright's prodigious body of work. The 13 essays--12 original and one revised and expanded for this volume--present the most timely and provocative thinking on Horovitz's canon (more than 50 plays), and address such subjects as ethnicity; violence; feminism; social commitment; the role of mythology; the influence of Aeschylus, Beckett, Ionesco, O'Neill, and Albee; and Horovitz's contribution to American drama. Also included are an interview with the playwright conducted by the editor specifically for this collection, a comprehensive chronology of his life and productions, and the most current primary and selected secondary bibliography.
