The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee（ISBN=9780521542333） 英文原版 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

　　Edward Albee, perhaps best known for his acclaimed and

infamous 1960s drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is one of

America's greatest living playwrights. Now in his seventies, he is

still writing challenging, award-winning dramas. This collection of

essays on Albee, which includes contributions from the leading

commentators on Albee's work, brings fresh critical insights to

bear by exploring the full scope of the playwright's career, from

his 1959 breakthrough with The Zoo Story to his recent Broadway

success, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? (2002). The contributors

include scholars of both theatre and English literature, and the

essays thus consider the plays both as literary texts and as

performed drama. The collection considers a number of Albee's

lesser-known and neglected works, provides a comprehensive

introduction and overview, and includes an exclusive, original

interview with Mr Albee, on topics spanning his whole career.
