Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Plays from the early part of the 20th century, spanning several new movements of the time, including Dada, Surrealism, and Futurism. The plays share certain features, including lack of linear plot, bleak views of the world, and a distaste for standard conventional theatrical conventions. They are mostly interesting, though a few of them are rather weak. The collection includes a discussion of the movement and the authors in advance of each play, mostly written by scholars. Following each play, there is an essay, usually written by the playwright, about the play itself or, more often, about the movement and about theatre in general. Overall an interesting bit of history; many of these plays will not seem so unusual or different to those in the 21st century, since conventional theatre has actually adopted many of the changes, but they were definitely trend setting plays at the time they were written.

An essential volume for theater artists and students alike, this anthology includes the full texts of sixteen important examples of avant-garde drama from the most daring and influential artistic movements of the first half of the twentieth century, including Symbolism, Futurism, Expressionism, Dada, and Surrealism. Each play is accompanied by a bio-critical introduction by the editor, and a critical essay, frequently written by the playwright, which elaborates on the play's dramatic and aesthetic concerns. A new introduction by Robert Knopf and Julia Listengarten contextualizes the plays in light of recent critical developments in avant-garde studies. By examining the groundbreaking theatrical experiments of Jarry, Maeterlinck, Strindberg, Artaud, and others, the book foregrounds the avant-garde's enduring influence on the development of modern theater.
