This volume contains nine essays which debate issues arising from
contemporary literary theory in relation to drama of the modern
period. The authors propose new theoretical approaches to recent
drama which derive from post-structuralism, semiotics, feminism,
Bakhtinian theory and psychoanalysis. The essays range over much of
the "canonical" drama which has been subjected to literary
approaches and suggest ways of re-reading well-known texts.;The
introduction examines the playwright's authority over textual
meaning and surveys existing work which relates theory and drama.
The playwrights discussed include Ann Jellicoe, Alan Bleasdale,
Jill Hyem and Anne Valery, Shelagh Delaney, Samuel Beckett, Harold
Pinter, Howard Brenton, Howard Barker, John McGrath, Joe Orton,
Caryl Churchill, Trevor Griffiths and David Hare.
