Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar will explore an important period of transition in the history of English drama. In the course of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras playwrights began to abandon various conventional aesthetic components while still writing within the framework of stage realism. They are gradually moving away from the well-made play and introduce innovative dramatic strategies as well as new subject matter or take a fresh perspective on traditional themes and motifs. Likewise, the commercial theatre is challenged by alternative forms of theatre management.

Regular attendance, oral presentation, active participation in class discussions, research paper (20-25 pages), final written test.

Acquaint students with a widely neglected yet fascinating body of work, make them aware of aesthetic features of literary works of a typical period of transition; relate the plays to the political and cultural climate of the time.
