Produktbeschreibung
Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) conceived and inaugurated the Theater of Cruelty, a dramatic movement that has had a profound influence on the avant-garde theater in Europe and the United States. The movement is exemplified by the Peter Brook production of Marat/Sade. This book, the first to analyze Artaud's theories, their sources, and the extent to which he succeeded in implementing them in his own plays, is now available in a 2017 edition, readily accessible to scholars and interested fans of literary criticism and the modern theater worldwide. The new edition adds a thoughtful Foreword by Professor Peter Thompson of Roger Williams University. Originally published by The University of Chicago Press, the book is brought to a new generation by Quid Pro Books, in modern print and digital editions. This is a library-quality hardcover edition. "It is a vital, thoroughly documented theater arts document containing a truly comprehensive bibliography. The writer's manner is direct, his conclusions informative, and the scope of his analysis far exceeds any other work yet published on Artaud." - Choice (in reviewing the first edition)
