ENGL 366 - Contemporary British and American Drama

Institution:

University of Richmond

Subject:

Description:

Developments since World War II. Prerequisite(s): English 297 or 298 with a grade of C or better. Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This course surveys late twentieth-century and contemporary British and/or American drama and theater, spotlighting selected playwrights who have shaped the contemporary stage and dramatic literature. We examine not only individual plays, but the ways in which these plays contribute historically, theoretically, and philosophically to a narrative history of the theater. The course makes no claim to be a comprehensive survey of all major - not to mention lesser-known - dramatists whose works have found their way to prominence, but by concentrating on a number of key dramatists, we are able to gauge more critically the aesthetic and cultural power of British and American drama.
