American Drama in Social Context (A Chicago Classic)

By Morris Freedman and Harry Thornton Moore

This provocative and valuable guide to modern drama covers the period of the 1930sto the present. In Morris Freedman's view, American drama has run the gamut from social commentary to sexualism and bru­tality exhibited on the stage, then and now, as texts of the time, shaped by the powerful social forces which have made American drama peculiarly responsive to the values held by its audiences.
