The Plays of August Strindberg

August Strindberg (1849-1912) has been referred to as «the father of modern literature» in Sweden, and has earned the distinction of one of the most important playwrights of the 20th century. As an author unafraid of exploring new possibilities in dramatic fiction, Strindberg is noted for his psychological realism, blatant misogyny, symbolism, and his utterly fluid and subjective sequences of events. His works bore intense scrutiny in their time, but have since been recognized for the prodigious...

He attended art school for a short while, but soon found that his talents and interest lay in poetry rather than painting. He came to prominence during a tumultuous period in Irish history, when he struggled with the idea of an independent Irish identity.

Now, any «masters» shipwrecked on their island are forced to live as slaves of their own slaves to impress upon them the wrongs they've...

The <I>Medea </I>of Euripides is one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies and arguably the one with the most significance today.

At its center is Medea herself, a character who refuses definition: Is she a hero, a witch, a psychopath, a goddess? All that can...
