Major Strategies in Twentieth Century Drama

Major Strategies in Twentieth Century Drama closely examines a group of American and European plays. These are found to be open in form because the end of our culture/society is unknown, allegorical in structure because vast questions must be reduced to comprehensible dimensions, and apocalyptic in vision because the final judgment hovers over our civilization to a degree unimaginable before the massive technological and social upheavals of our century.
