ENGLISH 90ab - American "Realists": O'Neill, Williams, Miller: Seminar

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

An in-depth look at drama by American playwrights who blended the "isms" of their European predecessors with the idioms of their native soil to create a mature drama deceptively known as "American Realism." Works by Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and several of their contemporaries. Focus is on the plays themselves -- their literary and dramatic innovations, their philosophical and cultural preoccupations, and the stylistic and interpretative challenges they posed.
