Informationen zum Autor The Editor: Philip C. Kolin! Professor of English at the University of Southern Mississippi! is the founding co-editor of Studies in American Drama! 1945-Present and an authority on the plays of Tennessee Williams. He has four other books on Williams! including a cultural and theatre history of A Streetcar Named Desire ! and more than fifteen books on Shakespeare! David Rabe! Edward Albee! and technical writing. Kolin is also the general editor for a Shakespeare criticism series. Klappentext Williams' later canon - post Night of the Iguana - has not received the intensive critical attention his earlier works have. The fifteen original essays in this book! written by leading authorities on Tennessee Williams! examine the energy and variety of Williams' late work in light of critical theory and performance objectives to reveal a powerful and rarely gifted experimental artist at work. Rather than seeing the works of the 1960s-1980s as a falling off of Williams' talent! the essays here demonstrate and argue that they are vital to the Williams canon and to American (and world) theatre alike.
