America's most thought-provoking playwright loved Italy more than any other country outside the U.S. and was deeply influenced by its culture for most of his life. Anna Magnani's film roles in the 1940s, Italian Neo-realist cinema, the theatre of Eduardo De Filippo, as well as the actual experience of Italian life and culture during his long stays in the country were some of the elements shaping his literary output. Through his lover Frank Merlo, he also had first-hand knowledge of Italian-American life in Brooklyn. Tracing the establishment of his reputation with the Italian intelligentsia, as well as with theatre practitioners and with generations of audiences, the book also tells the story of a momentous collaboration in the theatre, between Williams and Luchino Visconti, who had to defy the unceasing control Italian censorship exerted on Williams for decades.Theater—HistoryLiterature, Modern—20th centuryAmerica—LiteraturesTheatre Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000North American Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000Theater—History.Literature, Modern—20th century.America—Literatures.Theatre History.Twentieth-Century Literature.North American Literature.301Clericuzio Alessandroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut604248BOOK9910255236303321Tennessee Williams and Italy2515579UNINA
