This critical anthology presents selected drama by American poets writing between 1910 and 1960--Wallace Stevens, Edna St. Vincent Millay, H.D., E.E. Cummings, Marita Bonner, William Carlos Williams. Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. Rather than simply treating their plays as poetic oddities, this anthology places the drama of modernist poets squarely within theater history, including production histories and considerations of staging practices, acting styles, and performance venues. The volume opens with a critical introduction to the plays within modernism and includes detailed individual introductions for each play with further reading. Sarah Bey-Cheng is Associate Professor of Theater at the University of Buffalo/SUNY, where she teaches modern drama, avant-garde theater and film, and intermedia performance theory.
