Decades of Modern American Drama provides a comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced in each decade from the 1930s to 2009 in eight volumes. Each volume equips readers with a detailed understanding of the context from which the work emerged: an introduction considers life in the decade with a focus on domestic life and conditions, social changes, culture, media, technology, industry and political events; while a chapter on the theatre of the decade offers a wide-ranging and thorough survey of theatres, companies, dramatists, new movements and developments in response to the economic and political conditions of the day. The work of the four most prominent playwrights from the decade receives in-depth analysis and re-evaluation by a team of experts, together with commentary on their subsequent work and legacy. A final section brings together documents such as interviews with the playwrights and with directors, drafts of play scenes, and other material that

Decades of Contemporary British Fiction Four-Volume Set Edited by Leigh Wilson, University of Westminster, UK, Nick Hubble, Brunel University, UK and Philip Tew, Brunel University, UK A four−book collection that places British fiction among the cultural shifts and headline events spanning the 1970s to the 2000s. From the collapse of communism, through the rise of Thatcher to the shifts in global power, each volume evaluates the impact of social, cultural and political history on the fiction of the respective period. Breaking British fiction into four decades, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s and using social, cultural and political contexts to understand its chronology means changing literary themes are properly accounted for and traditional readings opened up. Approaching the subject from the perspective of its disciplinary formation, Decades of Contemporary British Fiction is a crucial reference point for the progressive development of contemporary British fiction.
