Summary: In this uncompromising reappraisal of Europe's foremost modern dramatists, Raymond Williams aims to provide not so much a history of the drama between the years 1850 and 1950 as a critical account and a revaluation.This is a fascinating and important book, both for its critical conclusions and for the way in which it succeeds in establishing an objective standard by which to judge the theatre today.
