This revised Student Edition includes an introduction by Bess
Rowen, Visiting Assistant Professor at Villanova University, US,
which looks in particular at the play's treatment of rape,
vulnerable people, mental institutions (especially in connection to
Williams's own family), sexuality and sexual desire. A Streetcar
Named Desire shows a turbulent confrontation between traditional
values in the American South - an old-world graciousness and beauty
running decoratively to seed - set against the rough-edged,
aggressive materialism of the new world. Through the vividly
characterised figures of Southern belle Blanche Dubois, seeking
refuge from physical ugliness in decayed gentility, and her brutal
brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, Tennessee Williams dramatises his
sense of the South's past as still active and often destructive in
modern America. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT EDITIONS are expertly
annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and
classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of the play
itself, this volume contains: * A chronology of the play and the
playwright's life and work * An introductory discussion of the
social, political, cultural and economic context in which the play
was originally conceived and created * A succinct overview of the
creation processes followed and subsequent performance history of
the piece * An analysis of, and commentary on, some of the major
themes and specific issues addressed by the text * A bibliography
of suggested primary and secondary materials for further study
