In this penetrating study Andrew Kennedy sets out to analyse the
modern movement in drama through the theatrical language of six key
figures writing in English - Shaw, Eliot, Beckett, Pinter, Osborne
and Arden. Dr Kennedy argues that a study of theatrical language
should be an exercise in 'practical criticism' and not merely
narrowly linguistic. The whole range of theatrical expressiveness
must be examined in detail from play text and performance alike and
the conclusions correlated with the author's known intentions if a
full evaluative judgement is to be attempted. Dr Kennedy shows how
the modern movement in drama reveals a growing difficulty in
creating any type of fully expressive dramatic language. He has
written a work with an unusual breadth of reference, which should
prove of value to all students of modern drama, modern English and
European literature and to the theatre-going public.
