The four plays under consideration are \u003ci\u003eWhite Desert\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), \u003ci\u003eSea-Wife\u003c\/i\u003e (1924), \u003ci\u003eSaturday’s Children\u003c\/i\u003e (1927), and \u003ci\u003eGypsy\u003c\/i\u003e (1929). These plays are largely forgotten and, even when the titles appear in Anderson scholarship, coverage has tended to be cursory and dismissive. This work represents a fresh approach and re-assessment of an American playwright who bore a significant impact on the drama of his time, serving not only to place Anderson’s work more effectively within the context of American theatre during the 1920s, but also to bridge the gap between his work and the marriage-related plays of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-10-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031132438\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-13241-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 188\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47545181405324,"sku":"9783031132438","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031132438.jpg?v=1776084800","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031132438","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
