C. W. E. Bigsby

Modern American Drama, 1945 2000

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this new edition of the widely-acclaimed Modern American Drama, Christopher Bigsby completes his survey of postwar theatre and brings the reader up to 2000. While retaining the key elements of the first edition, including surveys of major figures such as Eugene ONeill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Edward Albee, Bigsby also explores recent works by established dramatists such as Millers The Ride down Mount Morgan and Albees Three Tall Women, as well as works by relatively new playwrights Paula Vogel, Tony Kushner, and Terrence McNally among others.
