| Synopsis: |
This is the first one-volume analysis of British drama, from 1890-1990, covering the most dynamic and exciting period in its history since Shakespeare. Starting with George Bernard Shaw, Christopher Innes traces the evolution of modernism from the close of the nineteenth century right up to the present. The unparalleled breadth of this critical study shows patterns of development in naturalistic social drama, comedy, poetic drama, and feminist theatre. This provides a coherent theoretical frame for understanding individual writers and their work. The book gives detailed discussions of all the major dramatists; analysis of over 200 plays; information on the social and political context; facts about first productions and critical reception; a comprehensive chronology, and illustrations from seminal productions. The wide focus, unique coverage, and wealth of detail make this book an invaluable guide for students, theatre-goers, and theatre historians alike. |
