Opis

This revelatory study explores how Scottish history plays,§especially since the 1930s, raise issues of ideology, national identity,§historiography, mythology, gender and especially Scottish language. Covering topics§up to the end of World War Two, the book addresses the work of many key figures§from the last century of Scottish theatre, including Robert McLellan and his contemporaries,§and also Hector MacMillan, Stewart Conn, John McGrath, Donald Campbell, Bill§Bryden, Sue Glover, Liz Lochhead, Jo Clifford, Peter Arnott, David Greig, Rona§Munro and others often neglected or§misunderstood.§§Setting these§writers' achievements in the context of their Scottish and European§predecessors, Ian Brown offers fresh insights into key aspects of Scottish§theatre. As such, this represents the first study to offer an overarching view§of historical representation on Scottish stages,§exploring the nature of 'history' and 'myth' and relating these afresh to how dramatists use - and subvert -§them.§§Engaging§and accessible, this innovative book will attract scholars and students interested§in history, ideology, mythology, theatre politics and explorations of national§and gender identity.§
