Produktbeschreibung
"New Readings in British Drama: From the Post-War Period to the Contemporary Era" offers new readings of British plays produced after the Second World War by underlining the fact that literary theories have never been stagnant and exhausted in the field of drama as part of literary studies. Scholarly editions focusing exclusively on contemporary drama and its critical readings are still a rarity, as contemporary literary scholars tend to neglect drama in favour of fiction. Therefore, our contributors have attempted to examine the works of Tom Stoppard, Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane, Roy Williams, Mark Ravenhill, Thomas Eccleshare, Anders Lutsgarten and Jackie Kay from the perspectives of the major theories by emphasising how key theoretical approaches can help elucidate theatrical texts and their performances from a contemporary critical standpoint.
