Synopsis "August Wilson in Context"

The authoritative guide to the singular career and artistic legacy of one of America's most celebrated playwrights, this collection not only chronicles August Wilson's career and artistic legacy, but also makes apparent his continuing relevance to culture and politics today.

August Wilson is one of the twentieth century''s most important and acclaimed playwrights. This volume demonstrates Wilson''s significance to contemporary theatre, culture, and politics by providing fresh and compelling insights into his life, practices, and contributions as an artist and public intellectual. Across four thematically organized sections, contributors situate Wilson''s work in his social, cultural and political contexts, examine ongoing developments in Wilson studies, explore the production contexts of his plays, and explicate his dramaturgical sensibilities and strategies. This is the authoritative guide to Wilson''s career and artistic legacy for students, theatre practitioners, and general readers interested in this remarkable figure.
