Description
Strindberg's diverse artistic pursuits are explored in this collection of essays. The author examines Strindberg's work as a dramatist alongside his achievements in other fields, including painting and letter-writing. The studies cover individual plays, the role of historical drama in mirroring Strindberg's own experience, and the relationship between his later plays and musical Expressionism. Other essays consider the challenges posed by Strindberg's preoccupation with converting his life into literature and the importance he placed on letter-writing as a model for writing. The collection also delves into Strindberg's experiences during the Inferno Crisis, a period of mental and emotional turmoil that significantly influenced his work. The book concludes with a study of 19th-century actress, re-examining earlier concerns about character and theatricality in a new context.
