Description

In what is considered to be a classic in the field, (From Tension to Tonic: The Plays of Edward Albee) Paolucci here covers the plays that followed, up to Occupant.

In Edward Albee: The Later Plays the author's close analysis employs both innovative and traditional critical approaches howeverthe usual categories simply will not work well in dealing with the "Absurd", where structure, characterization, language, and theme have given way to a single moment of crisis depicted with laser-like intensity.

Rich comparisons with other works abound and give Paolucci's conclusions depth and solidity with unexpected insights in to her approach as a critic.
