The Modern Drama

By Emma Goldman

Book Overview

The Modern Drama by Emma Goldman is a comprehensive examination of the development of drama in the modern era. The book explores the works of various playwrights and their contributions to the evolution of drama. The author discusses the social, political, and cultural influences that shaped the modern drama, and how it reflects the changing times. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the rise of realism, the emergence of expressionism, the impact of World War I, and the advent of the Absurd. It also delves into the works of influential playwrights such as Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Anton Chekhov, George Bernard Shaw, and Samuel Beckett. The Modern Drama is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of drama and its evolution in the modern era.Intellectual Germany had to take refuge in the literature of other countries, in the works of Ibsen, Zola, Dalldet, Maupassant, and especially in the great works of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgeniev. But as no country can long maintain a standard of culture without a literature and drama related to its own soil, so Germany gradually began to develop a drama reflecting the life and the struggles of its own people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
