Controversial play, an early absurdist drama, immediately outraged audiences--and highly influenced subsequent literature--in 1898 for its scatalogical references and pompous style. Ubu--the cruel, gluttonous main character--is the author's metaphor for modern man. Unabridged republication of the English translation by Beverley Keith and G. Legman originally published in 1953.
