Conrad'S Drama eBook

Conrad's Drama: Contemporary Reviews and Observations collects both book reviews and performance reviews of Conrad's three plays: The Secret Agent, One Day More, and Laughing Anne. These reviews and observations show how Conrad's plays were received by his contemporaries. More than this, however, Conrad's Drama reveals the larger conversations surrounding his plays: the state of British drama in the early 20th century, the role the drama critic has in a play's reception, and the difficulty most fiction writers experience in trying to write for the stage. No other reference work exists for those studying Conrad's plays, and this volume should prove to be an indispensable reference work for those working on this topic. Conrad's Drama received an Honorable Mention in the Joseph Conrad Society of America's Adam Gillon Book Prize in Conrad Studies for books published 2018-2020.
