GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket Black cloth-bound boards with gold type to spine, light-blue endpapers, notes, index. This book is a study of western drama since Pirandello; the first part examines the typical serious plays since the First World War in relation to the events and atmosphere of each decade - the Boom Twenties, the Thirties and the Depression, the Forties and the War, the Nuclear Fifties - and analyses three main stylistic developments during that period. The second part consists of separate studies of nine leading dramatists - Pirandello, O'Neill, Brecht, Giraudoux, Anouilh, Sartre, T S Eliot, Miller & Tennesse Williams. The final part deals briefly with new 1950-1960s playwrights. [The title is a misnomer - book covers 1920 - 1960.]
