A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955)
are major plays by Tennessee Williams, one of America's most
significant dramatists. They both received landmark productions and
are widely-studied and performed around the world. The plays have
also inspired popular screen adaptations and have generated a body
of important and lasting scholarship.
In this indispensable Reader's Guide, Thomas P. Adler:
- charts the development of the criticism surrounding both works,
from the mid-twentieth century through to the present day
- provides a readable assessment of the key debates and
issues
- examines a range of theoretical approaches from biographical and
New Criticism to feminist and queer theory.
In so doing, Adler helps us to appreciate why these plays continue
to fascinate readers, theatregoers and directors alike.
