The three plays in this volume focus on the tumultuous relationships between men and women, whether they are father and daughter, brother and sister or lovers. Miss Julie is a ruthlessly realistic depiction of an upper class woman's seduction of a servant, emphasizing the differences and the antagonism between them. In The Father, a man is brought to madness and driven out of his home by the suspicion that his daughter is not his own child, while Easter centres on a family in need of redemption for its sins and suffering, finding forgiveness at a season of rebirth. Strindberg's acute psychological analysis and his dramatization of naked emotion within a naturalistic domestic setting make him one of the great innovators of the modern theatre.

Translated from the Swedish by Peter Watts. 175 pages. paperback. L82. The cover shows a detail from a lithograph by Edvard Munch, 'The Death Chamber' (1896). keywords: Penguin Classic Sweden Drama Literature Scandinavia Translated Paperback. DESCRIPTION-His ‘realistic' plays challenged the theatrical traditions of the day and were largely inspired by his own turbulent life. Both THE FATHER and MISS JULIA, with their emphasis on the war of the sexes, were written during the break-up of Strindberg's first marriage. EASTER came thirteen years later and is the most optimistic and serene of the three. His observation of human nature-especially the behaviour of women-is powerful and ruthless. The cover shows a detail from a lithograph by Edvard Munch, ‘The Death Chamber' (1896). inventory #32707.
