One of the founding members of the Provincetown Players, Susan
Glaspell contributed to American literature in ways that exceed the
work she did for this significant theatre group. Interwoven in her
many plays, novels and short stories is astute commentary on the
human condition. This volume provides an in-depth examination of
Glaspell's writing and how her language conveys her insights into
the universal dilemma of society versus self. Glaspell's ideas
transcended the plot and character. Her work gave prominent
attention to such issues as gender, politics, power and artistic
daring. Through an exploration of eight plays written between the
years of 1916 and 1943, ""Trifles"", ""Springs Eternal"", ""The
People"", ""Alison's House"", ""Bernice"", ""The Outside"",
""Chains of Dew"" and ""The Verge"" - this work concentrates on one
Glaspell's central themes: individuality versus social existence.
It explores the range of forces and fundamental tensions that
influence the perception and communication of her characters. The
final chapter includes a brief commentary on other Glaspell works.
A biographical overview provides background for the author's
reading and interpretation of the plays, placing Glaspell
historically within the post-modern movement.
