Book Description
Rather than attempting to psychoanalyze the characters, the author uses the social situations within the dramas themselves to define the terms of her argument. Her analysis of the plays is organized according to the recurring themes of confinement, women, language, and artists, and draws upon a variety of psychological, literary, and biographical sources to examine Williams's preoccupation with the mentally ill and society's treatment of them.
