She also examines how Davies' playwriting has been influenced by the dominant tastes of his time and by the conditions under which his plays have been performed. Dealing with the plays chronologically, Stone-Blackburn reveals Davies' fondness for theatricality as opposed to realism, for mythic flavour and archetypal character, his romanticism, and his irrepressible humour. 606 $aDidactic drama, Canadian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDrama$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSelf in literature 607 $aCanada$xIn literature 615 0$aDidactic drama, Canadian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDrama$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 676 $a812/.54 700 $aStone-Blackburn$b Susan$f1941-$01659202 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824092903321 996 $aRobertson Davies, playwright$94013754 997 $aUNINA
