American drama between the wars: a critical history

1. The revolt against tradition: little theaters and women downstage center.

2. Some "-isms," the guild, and the son of Monte Cristo.

3. Eugene O'Neil: from nobody to the Nobel.

4. Sturm and drang, American style.

5. A cry of playwrights.

6. Imitation, mimicry, and modification: variations on a realistic theme.

7. Seeing ourselves as less than we are: the great age of American comedy.

8. The fanciful flights of fantasy.

9. Drama in the folk tradition.
