Description

This volume offers direct evidence that women playwrights helped create the movement known as "Modern Drama". It contains 12 plays by women from the Americas, Europe and Asia, spanning a national and stylistic range from Swedish realism to Russian symbolism. Six of these plays are appearing in their first English-language translation. Playwrights include: Anne-Charlotte Leffler Edgren (Sweden); Amelia Pincherle Rosselli (Italy); Elsa Bernstein (Germany); Elizabeth Robins (Britain); Marie Leneru (France); Alfonsia Storni (Argentina); Hella Wuolijoki (Finland); Hasegawa Shigure (Japan); Rachilde (France); Zinaida Gippius (Russia); Djuna Barnes (USA); Marita Bonner (USA). This anthology explodes the traditional canon. In these plays, the "New Woman" represents herself and her crises in all of the styles and genres available to the modern dramatist.
