Inhalt
Unlike the most part of the 19th century, the early 20th century (roughly starting with Oscar Wilde’s plays) was a very good and prolific era in British drama. Starting with the social drama of G.B. Shaw (an Irishman who wrote mainly for the London stage), the century saw the passing of two world wars that each changed not only the country and its society, but also its dramatic literature significantly. Different schools of drama, such as the well-made play, the kitchen-sink drama or the feminist city comedies of the 1910s and 20s left their mark in the literary history of Britain and many of them are still played today.
To trace the development of drama throughout the first half of the 20th century, this course will take a quantitative approach to reading drama. To do so, we will cover 12 plays in the course of the 15 week-course, so students will be required to read one play per week. Below, you will find a reading list of the plays we will cover in the order in which we are going to read them. You should have read Peter Pan by the beginning of the semester.
