Seller's Description:
VG (Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine, inside front and rear covers, ffep and block. ) Green cloth boards with gilt lettering; xi, 261 pp; bw illustrations. "The essays that Martha Halsey and Phyllis Zarlin have written and collected in this volume deal with plays and playwrights primarily and only incidentally with actors, producers, theater buildings, mime, and other such manifestations of the performing arts. The period the authors cover is from the 1940s to the present. The Spanish Civil War (1936-39) shattered theatrical life. After the conflict ended on April 1, 1939, the theater was barely nourished by recourse to its past. Then "the contemporary Spanish theater" began on a particular date: October 14, 1949. On that night a new playwright, Antonio Buero Vallejo, saw the first performance of his Historia de una escalera (Story of a Staircase) produced at the Teatro Español. It spoke deeply to Spanish audiences then, and instilled a new vitality into the Spanish theater and attracted to drama a new generation of playwrights. It is those writers and younger ones that have followed in their footsteps that are studied in this fine collection of essays. The distinguished editors introductory essay, "Is There Life after Lorca? " is a readable survey of the period, and it sets the tone for the following specialized essays by other authors and by themselves."-publisher. Contents: Is there life after Lorca? / Martha T. Halsey and Phyllis Zatlin--Antonio Buero-Vallejo: stages, illusions and hallucinations / Robert L. Nicholas--The theatrical gap between Sastre's criticism and his later plays / Felicia Hardison Londré--Plays of conscience and consciousness: psychological drama in contemporary Spain / Phyllis Zatlin--The metatheatrical impulse in post-Civil War Spanish comedy / Marion P. Holt--The politics of history: images of Spain on the stage of the 1970s / Martha T. Halsey--Antonio Gala and the new Catholicism / Robert Louis Sheehan--Spain: a recurring theme in the theater of Fernando Arrabal / Peter L. Podol--Francisco Nieva: Spanish representative of the theater of the marvelous / Emil G. Signes--The assimilation of Ramon Del Valle-Inclan's dramas into contemporary Spanish theater / Frank P.
