| Description: |
Using psychoanalysis and criticism, this text demonstrates how the theatre expresses the secrets of its audience. The work includes readings of five plays: "The Iceman Cometh", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Long Day's Journey Into Night", "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Death of a Salesman". |
| Synopsis: |
Through a detailed reading of five great modern American plays The Iceman Cometh, A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Walter A. Davis calls for a more penetrating look at drama and its psychological impact on the audience. Establishing connections between literary criticism and psychoanalysis, he challenges ruling assumptions of both disciplines. Unconventional and original, his theory demonstrates how the theater, as a potential threat to social order, expresses the secrets and discontents of its audience." |
