Book Description:
In this is new edition of the widely-acclaimed Modern American Drama Christopher Bigsby completes his survey of postwar theatre and brings the reader up to 2000. While retaining the key elements of the first edition, including surveys of major figures such as Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Edward Albee, Bigsby also explores recent works by established dramatists such as Miller's The Ride down Mount Morgan and Albee's Three Tall Women, as well as works by relatively newer playwrights Paula Vogel, Tony Kushner, and Terrence McNally among others.
Review:
"Bigsby has read the evolving American spirit through its theater. It is a work of enormous encyclopedic breadth, reaching out into the myriad byways of American theater, encompassing all its styles and approaches, but always with an eye to the central preoccupation of all serious theater, the nation's mysterious soul." Arthur Miller
"Bigsby's knowledge of the field is encyclopedic. His insights are sharp and well reasoned. Replacing the earlier volume, this expanded edition is strongly recommended for public, college, and university libraries." Choice
"Impressive in its scope, provides invaluable insights, and motivates the reader to take a closer look at the plays analyzed." Zeitschrift fuer Anglistik und Amerikanistik
