Author: Eugène Ionesco
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 9780802131010
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Amédée creates a comic uproar out of a steadily-growing corpse just outside the bedroom of a middle-class couple. In The new tenant , a man moves furniture into his new apartment. Slowly the articles accumulate until there is no room left. In Victims of duty, the playwright has tried to drown the comic in the tragic, to oppose them in order to reunite them in a new synthesis.

The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature
Author: Michael Y. Bennett
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040001610
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 803
Book Description
The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature is the first authoritative and definitive edited collection on absurdist literature. As a field-defining volume, the editor and the contributors are world leaders in this ever-exciting genre that includes some of the most important and influential writers of the twentieth century, including Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Edward Albee, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, and Albert Camus. Ever puzzling and always refusing to be pinned down, this book does not attempt to define absurdist literature, but attempts to examine its major and minor players. As such, the field is indirectly defined by examining its constituent writers. Not only investigating the so-called “Theatre of the Absurd,” this volume wades deeply into absurdist fiction and absurdist poetry, expanding much of our previous sense of what constitutes absurdist literature. Furthermore, long overdue, approximately one-third of the book is devoted to marginalized writers: black, Latin/x, female, LGBTQ+, and non-Western voices.

Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd
Author: Carl Lavery
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472513207
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd is an innovative collection of essays, written by leading scholars in the fields of theatre, performance and eco-criticism, which reconfigures absurdist theatre through the optics of ecology and environment. As well as offering strikingly new interpretations of the work of canonical playwrights such as Beckett, Genet, Ionesco, Adamov, Albee, Kafka, Pinter, Shepard and Churchill, the book playfully mimics the structure of Martin Esslin's classic text The Theatre of the Absurd, which is commonly recognised as one of the most important scholarly publications of the 20th century. By reading absurdist drama, for the first time, as an emergent form of ecological theatre, Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd interrogates afresh the very meaning of absurdism for 21st-century audiences, while at the same time making a significant contribution to the development of theatre and performance studies as a whole. The collection's interdisciplinary approach, accessibility, and ecological focus will appeal to students and academics in a number of different fields, including theatre, performance, English, French, geography and philosophy. It will also have a major impact on the new cross disciplinary paradigm of eco-criticism.
