330 .. $a "The Decades of Modern American Drama series provides a comprehensive survey and study
of the theatre produced in each decade from the 1930s to 2009 in eight volumes. Each
volume equips readers with a detailed understanding of the context from which work
emerged: an introduction considers life in the decade with a focus on domestic life
and conditions, social changes, culture, media, technology, industry and political
events; while a chapter on the theatre of the decade offers a wide-ranging and thorough
survey of theatres, companies, dramatists, new movements and developments in response
to the economic and political conditions of the day. The work of the four most prominent
playwrights from the decade receives in-depth analysis and re-evaluation by a team
of experts, together with commentary on their subsequent work and legacy. A final
section brings together original documents such as interviews with the playwrights
and with directors, drafts of play scenes, and other previously unpublished material.
The major playwrights and their works to receive in-depth coverage in this volume
include: * Eugene O'Neill: The Iceman Cometh (1946), A Moon for the Misbegotten (1947),
Long Day's Journey Into Night (written 1941, produced 1956), and A Touch of the Poet
(written 1942, produced 1958); * Tennessee Williams: The Glass Menagerie (1944), A
Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Summer and Smoke (1948); * Arthur Miller: All My Sons
(1947), Death of a Salesman (1949), and The Crucible (1953); * Thornton Wilder: Our
Town (1938), The Skin of Our Teeth (1942), and The Merchant of Yonkers, later rewritten
as The Matchmaker and as the musical Hello Dolly!") -- Provided by publisher
