This book examines the most vital, varied and innovative period
of English dramatic writing since Shakespeare and the Renaissance.
It examines the major dramatists of this period, including Beckett,
Pinter, Osborne,Wesker, Bond, Churchill, Barker, Cartwright and Kane.
English Drama Since
1940
considers the bids of successive post-war
dramatists to find language and images which interrogate conventional
relationships between power, sexuality and morality. It shows how
experimental British Drama has purposefully sought to be an art form
through which private feelings can be expressed so as to have public
consequences, and through which fictional pliysical confrontations can
have personal repercussions for those who witness challenging events.
It also notes how not only English but also Irish, Welsh and Scottish
dramatists have sought critical dialogue with the dominant English
terms of definition.
This book introduces the period and its discourses whilst redefining
them, to give proper consideration to developments of themes, styles,
concerns and contexts from the
1980s
to the present.The book offers
succinct and analytical introductions to the works of over
6(1
dramatists,
whilst arguing for the reappraisal of many dated critical perspectives,
in order to stimulate further argument in the field.
David Ian Rabey is Reader in Drama and Subject Leader of Theatre
Studies at The University ofWales, Aberystwyth. His publications
include Britisli and Irisli Political Drama in the Twentieth Century
(1986),
Howard Barker: Politics and Desire
(1989)
and David Riidkin: Sacred
Disobedience
(1997).
He is also a director, performer and dramatist.
