Series Title: Modern Dramatists Research and Production Sourcebooks

Series Number: 5

Reviews:

...this work offers materials and services not available in its predecessors. The key is in the subtitle: sourcebook. The book contains summaries of the works, including unpublished and unproduced ones, in addition to "overviews" of critical response to each work, thereby making it a one-stop source for most student or general research. Leeson's work is obviously not for specialists, but it is a godsend for everyone else. General and academic audiences.

Description: William Inge was one of the most significant dramatists of the 20th century. His dramatizations of the lives of repressed people struggling to sift through, make sense of, or escape from the psychological, sexual, economic, and familial complexities of modern life remain some of the most powerful in the American theatre. He achieved admirable success on Broadway, and several of his major plays were made into popular films. This book details and records his career. The volume contains an overview of Inge's work as a dramatist and demonstrates how his plays have helped shape the modern stage. Included are plot synopses, production histories, and critical commentary for Inge's plays. The volume also presents bibliographic information for dramatic, non-dramatic, and critical writings by Inge, a list of archival material, and annotated entries for books, articles, and reviews that treat his work.
