Tradition and Innovation, a collection of academic articles on Modern Anglo-American theater

The focus of attention in this book is a comparative view of how traditional patterns of theme and style have evolved in the shape of experimental innovations in Anglo-American drama in the course of the20th century. These transformations have stemmed far back from the psychological drama of Strindberg, Ibsen and Chekhov and have been strongly shaped by the Theater of the Absurd in the 50’s and 60’s of the 20th century and have finally emerged in the experiments of the post-modern theater.

This book represents a multi-colored mosaic of self-contained studies which are also inter-connected in many ways and are distinguished by a subtle and profound analysis. However, the style of the author is persuasive and clear-cut which makes the texts easy to understand and amusing to read. Hopefully, they are intended to appeal to a wide range of audience of any description such as age, race or education. No previous knowledge in the specifics of the dramatic mode is required in order to enjoy reading and getting insights into the magic and mysteries of theater. It is no wonder drama has been around for thousands of years and no doubt is to last as long as there is some kind of civilization on this tiny planet.
