Pirandello's Theater: The Recovery of the Modern Stage for Dramatic Art, Volume 10Southern Illinois University Press, 1974 - 159 pagine Anne Paolucci here combines her interests in the theater, with her extraordinary talents as a playwright. In this sympathetic and perceptive first book on Pirandello's theater she covers the entire corpus of Pirandello's work, tracing the continuity of the plays through their interrelated themes. Rather than simple and direct, she shows that all the Pirandellian themes are below the cheery surface; that they are developed in two parallel series of plays; and that they are brought to a cathartic dramatic effect in his last group of plays. Richly rewarding, this study of the "playwright's playwright" is further enhanced by Anne Paolucci's own sensitive translations. |
