History as Theatrical Metaphor
History, Myth and National Identities in Modern Scottish Drama
Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem
The worldwide success of Gregory Burke's Black Watch (2006) is, of course, not typical of the reception of every new Scottish play. Nonetheless, its reception is a mark of the esteem in which Scottish drama has developed over the last 80 years.

Examining versions of 'Scotland' and Scottishness in the work of leading playwrights from the 1930s on, the book asks us what these versions tell us about the nature of historical myth-making, approaches to Scottishness and national identities in general and the role of Scottish theatre in times of political change, not least as we approach the independence referendum in September 2014.weiterlesen
