Modern Drama in Europe (1920)

Modern Drama in Europe is a book written by Storm Jameson and published in 1920. The book is a critical analysis of the contemporary European theatre scene at the time, covering the works of playwrights such as Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, George Bernard Shaw, and Luigi Pirandello. Jameson examines the themes and styles of these plays and how they reflect the social and political climate of Europe during the early 20th century. The book also explores the impact of modernism on theatre, including the use of symbolism, expressionism, and surrealism. Jameson's analysis is informed by her own experiences as a playwright and theatre producer, and her insights provide a valuable perspective on the development of modern drama in Europe. Modern Drama in Europe remains a seminal work in the field of theatre studies and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
