Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Zweedse August Strindberg (1849-1912) wordt gezien als een van de meest belangrijke toneelschrijvers van rond de eeuwwisseling. Zijn choquerende theaterstukken had veel weerklank bij het publiek in die tijd, en inspireert tot op de dag van vandaag toneelschrijvers en publiek. Strindberg was een onophoudelijke innovator van verschillende theatervormen, een bron van inspiratie voor onder meer Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett en Ingmar Bergman en heeft een vruchtbare bodem gelegd voor het moderne toneel. Zijn voorwoord voor Miss Julie en zijn inleiding bij A Dream Play zijn alom bekend en vaak herdrukt. Wat minder bekend is, is dat Strindberg veel toneelstukken recenseerde en kritieken schreef over het theater in z'n algemeen, en zijn toneelstukken in het bijzonder. Dit boek bevat de meest belangrijke van zijn kritieken, chronologisch weergegeven en geannoteerd, waarvan vele voor het eerst in het Engels.
Book Synopsis Strindberg and Modernist Theatre by : Frederick J. Marker
Download or read book Strindberg and Modernist Theatre written by Frederick J. Marker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the profound influence exerted by August Strindberg on the development of modernist theatre and drama, the myth persisted that his plays - particularly such later works as A Dream Play, To Damascus, and The Ghost Sonata - are somehow 'unperformable'. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as this book sets out to demonstrate by providing a detailed performance analysis of the major works created after the period of personal crisis which Strindberg called his Inferno. Ranging from the early productions of Max Reinhardt and Olof Molander to the reinterpretations of Robert Lepage, Robert Wilson and Ingmar Bergman in our own day, this study explores the crucial impact that this writer's allusive (and elusive) method of playwriting has had on the changing nature of the theatrical experience. Each chapter ends with a section devoted to innovative Strindberg performances on the contemporary stage.

Book Synopsis August Strindberg by : Eszter Szalczer
Download or read book August Strindberg written by Eszter Szalczer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatist, theatre practitioner, novelist, and painter, August Strindberg’s diverse dramatic output embodied the modernist sensibility. He was above all one of the most radical innovators of Western theatre. This book provides an insightful assessment of Strindberg’s vital contribution to the dramatic arts, while placing his creative process and experimental approach within a wider cultural context. Eszter Szalczer explores Strindberg’s re-definition of drama as a fluid, constantly evolving form that profoundly influenced playwriting and theatrical production from the German Expressionists to the Theatre of the Absurd. Key productions of Strindberg’s plays are analysed, examining his theatre as a living voice that continues to challenge audiences, critics, and even the most innovative directors. August Strindberg provides an essential and accessible guide to the playwright’s work and illustrates the influence of his drama on our understanding of contemporary theatre.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to August Strindberg by : Michael Robinson
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to August Strindberg written by Michael Robinson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-24 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August Strindberg is one of the most enduring of nineteenth-century dramatists, and is also an internationally recognised novelist, autobiographer, and painter. This Companion presents contributions by leading international scholars on different aspects of Strindberg's highly colourful life and work. The essays focus primarily on his most celebrated plays; these include the Naturalist Dramas, The Father and Miss Julie; the experimental dramas with which he created a true modernist theatre – To Damascus and A Dream Play; and the Chamber Plays of 1908 which, like so much of his work, exerted a powerful influence on much later twentieth-century drama. His plays are contextualised for what they contribute both to the history of drama and developments in theatre practice, and other essays clarify the enormous importance to these dramas of his other work, most notably the autobiographical novel Inferno, and his lifelong interest in science, the occult, sexual politics, and the visual arts.

Download or read book The Plays of August Strindberg written by August Strindberg and published by Digireads.com Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August Strindberg (1849-1912) has been referred to as "the father of modern literature" in Sweden, and has earned the distinction of one of the most important playwrights of the 20th century. As an author unafraid of exploring new possibilities in dramatic fiction, Strindberg is noted for his psychological realism, blatant misogyny, symbolism, and his utterly fluid and subjective sequences of events. His works bore intense scrutiny in their time, but have since been recognized for the prodigious influence they exhibited not only in the Naturalist and Expressionist genres, but on modern theatre as a whole. His catalogue includes over sixty plays and more than thirty works of fiction. This collection includes: "Comrades", "Facing Death", "Pariah", or "The Outcast, Easter", "The Father", "Miss Julie", "The Outlaw", "The Stronger", "The Dance of Death", "A Dream Play", and "The Ghost Sonata".

Book Synopsis Strindberg's Dramaturgy by : Göran Stockenström
Download or read book Strindberg's Dramaturgy written by Göran Stockenström and published by . This book was released on 1988-12-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strindberg's Dramaturgy was first published in 1988.The plays of Swedish dramatist August Strindberg have had more productions in the American theater in the past ten to fifteen years than in the sixty-year period following the 1905 New York debut of Miss Julie. Claimed and reclaimed by the theatrical avant-garde -- the Provincetown Players in the 1920s, the Absurdists of the 1960s, and contemporary postmodernists -- the Strindberg repertoire has also been reviled and ignored; only in recent years has it expanded to include the dream plays, once considered too difficult to produce. The authors of this book are aware that the study of Strindberg means little without a deeper understanding of his complex performance history in Europe and North America. Their collective efforts show that production and reception, always a mediating experience between the theater and its audience, is for Strindberg a particularly dynamic event. Always in a state of becoming, each play takes on meaning through the experience of its audience.The contributors to Strindberg's Dramaturgy -- an international group of scholars, critics, and directors -- explore this complex pattern of signification or meaning in both his dramatic discourse and the actual staging of the plays. Their aim is to better understand Strindberg's impact on twentieth-century theater from this dual vantage point; the dialectical tension between text and stage characterizes every chapter in the book.Structured in four parts, the book opens with several essays that establish for Strindberg a historical context reaching beyond the theater -- his place in Western humanism, his relation to Nietzsche, his use of myth and of Swedish history. The essays in Part 2 explore the nature of Strindberg's modernism, and those in Part 3 contrast the naturalistic plays of the 1880s with the post-Inferno dramas to test continuities and changes in his work as it became, in Eugene O'Neill's words, "supernaturalistic." In the last part, the authors tackle the dramaturgy of the dream plays, emphasizing the challenge they have always posed in the realm of creative stagecraft. The book's illustrations include set designs and photographs of major Strindberg productions from the turn of the century on.The contributors, besides Stockenström, include: Sven Delblanc, Evert Sprinchorn, Harry G. Carlson, Manfred Karnick, Elinor Fuchs, Gunnar Brandell, Richard Bark, Freddie Rokem, James McFarlane, Maurice Gravier, Frederick J. Marker, Lise-Lone Marker, Susan Brantly, Timo Tiusanen, Barry Jacobs, Göran Söderström, Ingvar Holm, Egil Törnqvist, Susan Einhorn, Sarah Bryant-Bertail, Jon M. Berry, and Paul Walsh.
