Book Synopsis A Reader's Guide to Modern Irish Drama by : Sanford Sternlicht
Download or read book A Reader's Guide to Modern Irish Drama written by Sanford Sternlicht. This book was released on 1998-05-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes information on the most recent and youngest playwrights working today at the Abbey, Druid, and Lyric Theatres. Sanford Sternlicht discusses the important plays of all the playwrights included and the major themes of modern Irish drama. A Readers Guide to Modern Irish Drama provides an introduction to one of the great dramatic and theatrical traditions of Western culture. Professor Sanford Stemlicht wrote this book specifically for Syracuse University Press's Reader's Guides series. As one of only a handful of comprehensive contemporary studies of Irish drama, the book includes the most recent and youngest playwrights working today at the Abbey, Druid, and Lyric Theatres. Beginning with essays on twentieth-century Irish history, The Irish Literary Theatre, and the development of the Modem ,Irish Theatre in Dublin, Belfast, Galway and other cities, the guide presents biographies and bibliographies of more than twenty-five major twentieth-century Irish dramatists from Lady Gregory, Yeats, and Synge to O'Casey, Beckett, and Behan; from Friel and McGuinness to Marina Carr and Martin McDonagh. Most significantly, Sternlicht discusses the important plays of all the playwrights included, and the major themes of modem Irish drama-the struggle for independence, the cruelty of poverty, the pains of emigration and exile, the decline of the Anglo-Irish ascendency, the power of religion, the longing for land, and the familial and gender conflicts of a people in transition. Finally, a selected bibliography completes the study.
