Description
Aria Da Capo A Play in One Act by Edna St. Vincent Millay is an expressionist morality play that explores complex themes through its unique characters and structure. Divided into three parts, the play features a range of roles, including shepherds, artists, and a young woman, all brought together to examine fundamental questions about identity and morality. Written in 1920, this one-act play showcases Edna St. Vincent Millay's skill as both a poet and playwright. A pioneer of modernist theatre, Millay was also a celebrated lyrical poet and feminist activist. This new edition of Aria Da Capo includes a biography of the author by Carl Van Doren, providing valuable context for readers interested in Millay's life and work. With its innovative style and thought-provoking themes, Aria Da Capo is an important work that continues to be studied and appreciated today.
