The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

(same as LIT 373) Scholarly study of selected American plays representing the most important experiments in dramaturgy and theatrical style, as well as those treating the prevailing American social issues of the 20th century. The course will examine attempts by American playwrights to raise American drama to the literary level of modern European drama which had been infused with the modern sensibility informed by changes in philosophy, psychology, science, and the arts; and/or to return drama and theatre to the literary level of classical Greek tragedy and Shakespeare. Toward the end of the course emphasis is given to the opening up of the American theatre to marginalized groups previously excluded from the stage.
