This comprehensive, detailed study of Wilder's entire dramatic
oeuvre is the only one to place the works in their broad aesthetic
and philosophical context and to integrate literary analysis of the
plays with interpretation of their theatrical techniques. Its
sources include Gilbert Harrison's "authorized" 1983 biography of
the dramatist and the published selections from Wilder's journals
for the years 1939-1961, as well as unpublished material--letters,
diaries, and notes--in the Yale Collection of American Literature
Wilder papers. Lifton discusses the symbolist, naturalist,
expressionist, Brechtian, futurist, Pirandellian, and
existentialist elements in Wilder's plays, as well as parallels
between Wilder's theatre and that of such diverse cultures as the
classical Greek and Roman, medieval European, Elizabethan,
Renaissance Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese.
