The undiscovered country

En savoir plus sur le livre

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.
