J. Brander Matthews

    James Brander Matthews fut un écrivain et pédagogue américain, pionnier dans l'établissement du théâtre comme discipline universitaire à part entière. Ses intérêts couvraient un large éventail de traditions dramatiques, de Shakespeare au réalisme contemporain, explorant diverses formes théâtrales. Bien que ses propres œuvres de fiction soient aujourd'hui largement oubliées, ses écrits théoriques influents sur le drame, notamment ses études sur les dramaturges français et la littérature américaine, furent acclamés pour leur profondeur et leur rigueur. Matthews défendit avec passion le théâtre comme un art de la performance, soulignant sa nature éphémère et l'importance de la maîtrise artisanale sur scène.
