Selected, translated, and edited by Egil Törnqvist and Birgitta Steene.Together with Norway's Henrik Ibsen and Russia's Anton Chekhov, Sweden's August Strindberg (1849-1912) has long been recognized as a leading dramatist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Of these three, Strindberg has proven the most seminal to the development of modern drama.
Selections include most of Strindberg's significant statements on drama and theatre. Most, but not all, for we have tried to avoid repetitiveness by limiting, for example, similar statements to different addressees and by leaving out certain technical descriptions related to specific productions.Contents:
