NEW READINGS IN AMERICAN DRAMA - NORMA JENCKES ...

New Readings in American Drama  an anthology of some of the best essays that have been
published in the scholarly journal  American Drama  showcases the latest research and applies
the newest theoretical approaches to the huge body of writing for the American stage  screen 
and television. Rounding-up all the usual canonical subjects from O'Neill to Miller to Mamet 
this book also highlights marginalized writers from earlier decades of the twentieth century
and stresses the work of women and African-American playwrights. Although many people
sheepishly confess that they rarely read poetry or fiction once they leave school  most must
admit that they are daily viewers of drama  a ubiquitous experience that people enjoy on
television  videos  and at the movies. This popular ascendancy of drama bolsters the argument
for using the classroom to raise the level of discussion of what students are actually going to
watch for the rest of their lives - and this book provides the tools to facilitate that
conversation.
