From 1880 to 1956, when John Osborne transformed the British
theater world with Look Back in Anger, British playwrights made
numerous lasting contributions and provided a foundation for the
innovations of dramatists during the latter half of the 20th
century. This reference profiles the life and work of some 40
British playwrights active during the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, many of whom are also known for their work as novelists
and poets. Included are figures such as W. H. Auden, Max Beerbohm,
Noel Coward, T. S. Eliot, John Galsworthy, Graham Greene, D. H.
Lawrence, W. Somerset Maugham, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar
Wilde. Each entry provides a biographical overview; a list of major
plays and summaries of their critical reception; a list of minor
plays, adaptations, and productions; an assessment of the
playwright's career; and archival and bibliographical information.
Included in this reference book are alphabetically arranged entries
for some 40 British playwrights active from 1880 through 1956.
Entries are written by expert contributors, with each entry
providing a biographical overview; a list of major plays,
premieres, and significant revivals, along with a summary of the
critical reception of these works; a listing of additional plays,
adaptations, and productions; an assessment of the playwright's
career and contributions, with reference to published evaluations
in magazines, journals, dissertations, and books; a listing of
locations housing unpublished archival material, if available; a
selected bibliography of the dramatist's published plays and of
essays and articles by the playwright on aspects of the theater; a
selected bibliography of secondary sources; and, when available, a
listing of previously published bibliographies on the playwright.
