Masterpieces of 20 th-century American drama

Аннотация

Any attempt to explicate twentieth-century American drama within a single chapter becomes an exercise in compromise- Although certain theatrical movements, productions, and playwrights must be covered, there are numerous others, many influenced by the former, whose contributions are worthy but must go unmentioned for brevity's sake. This chapter is an introduction only and does not purport to tell the whole story; it merely shares the highlights.
