Edward Albee, perhaps best known for his acclaimed and infamous
1960s drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is one of America's
greatest living playwrights. Now in his seventies, he is still
writing challenging, award-winning dramas. This collection of
essays on Albee, which includes contributions from the leading
commentators on Albee's work, brings fresh critical insights to
bear by exploring the full scope of the playwright's career, from
his 1959 breakthrough with The Zoo Story to his recent Broadway
success, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? (2002). The contributors
include scholars of both theatre and English literature, and the
essays thus consider the plays both as literary texts and as
performed drama. The collection considers a number of Albee's
lesser-known and neglected works, provides a comprehensive
introduction and overview, and includes an exclusive, original
interview with Mr Albee, on topics spanning his whole career.
