Bøger af Jerry Wasserman

Arguably the first North American play, this edition includes the original French script of Marc Lescarbots Theatre of Neptune in New France, two twentieth-century English translations, Ben Jonsons Masque of Blackness, and an extensive historical and critical introduction by Jerry Wasserman.

In Volume II, Wasserman shows us Canadian drama from 1985 to 1997, during which we see women playwrights rise to greater prominence, along with Native, gay, lesbian, and Quebecois playwrights. But, continuing on from Volume I, this selection of plays not only takes us farther into the annals of the lives of the marginalized; it also provides a revealing cultural and philosophical cross-section of late-twentieth-century life in Canada.

This fourth edition contains "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe," "Fortune and Men's Eyes," "Les Belle Soeurs," "Leaving Home" and others.
