"Fifty Modern and Contemporary Dramatists is a critical introduction to the work of some of the most important and influential playwrights from the 1950s to the present day. The figures chosen are among the most widely studied by students of drama, theatre and literature and include such celebrated writers as Samuel Beckett, Caryl Churchill, Anna Deavere Smith, Jean Genet, Sarah Kane, Arthur Miller, Heiner Müller, Harold Pinter, and Sam Shepard. Each short essay is written by one of an international team of academic experts and offers a detailed analysis of the playwright's key works and career. The introduction gives an historical and theatrical context to the volume, which provides an invaluable overview of modern and contemporary drama."-- Provided by publisher |
