Basic to any valid definition is the concept of persuasion. The descrip­ tion of persuasive techniques and evaluation of their effectiveness is the province of rhetorical criticism. Drama is, in part at least, a rhe­ torical enterprise. Chapter I of this study establishes a theoretical basis for the rhetorical analysis of drama. The central chapters con­ sider Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude in light of the rhetorical im­ plications of intent, content, and form. Chapter II deals principally with O'Neill's status as a rhetor. It asks, what are the evidences of a rhetorical purpose in his life and plays? Why is Strange Interlude an especially significant example of O'Neill's rhetoric? The intellectual content of Strange Interlude is the matter of Chapter III. What ideas does the play contain? To what extent is the play a transcript of con­ temporary thought? Could it have potentially influenced the times? Chapter IV is concerned with the specific manner in which Strange Interlude was used as a vehicle for the ideas.

    ROBERT E. SHERWOOD: PLAYWRIGHT AND POLITICAL ARCHITECT ———— THEATER, PROPAGANDA, AND THE SHAPING OF POLITICS THROUGH ART Lily Pipkin E369H Special Honors in the Department of English Submitted to Fulfill Plan II Honors Program Thesis Requirement The University of Texas at Austin 4 May 2017 ________________________________ Dr. James Loehlin Department of English Supervising Professor ________________________________ Dr. Michael Stoff Department of History Second Reader Pipkin !i Abstract Author: Lily Pipkin Title: Robert E. Sherwood, Playwright and Political Architect: Theater, Propaganda, and the Shaping of Politics through Art Supervising Professors: Dr. James Loehlin, Dr. Michael B. Stoff Robert Sherwood’s politicized writing focuses on the American reaction to war in Europe and the rise of European political movements like Communism and Fascism in a time when most Americans felt deeply isolationist and unconcerned with global events. Most of the criticism available on Sherwood approaches his work in terms of his political opinion shifting from pacifism to interventionism. Instead, I take a revisionist stance against these critics in order to examine how the consistencies in his rhetoric shape both his plays and his speechwriting for President Roosevelt during World War II. Looking at the attempts of a playwright to influence public political beliefs helps define the American position on the eve of war and the function that art and theater play in crafting public opinion, particularly in this period of the twentieth century. I argue that despite the contradictory political messages across Sherwood’s career, underneath the propaganda is an appeal to American optimism and human connection that goes unnoticed by theater scholars today.

The winner, Simon Stephens’ THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, based on Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, is a thrilling and emotional journey into the mind of an autistic boy. We acquired Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize- winning play DISGRACED after its run at Lincoln Center, and we are also publishing his plays THE WHO & THE WHAT and THE INVISIBLE HAND.

A Letter from the President Fall 2008 Dear Subscriber, This year there is an important change in our annual printed catalogue. We have decided to discontinue including full descriptions of all the plays we represent, which now number over 3,300, and instead limit full descriptions to our new acquisitions. Our new catalogue format will still contain listings of all our titles and authors, but to view descriptions of all of our plays you only have to visit our website at www.dramatists.com. We decided to make this change because less than two percent of the thousands of applications we receive each year now arrive via mail or fax. We receive an overwhelming 98 percent of applications through the online forms found on our website. We are extremely pleased about this development, as we believe ours is the best website of its kind on the Internet, and it has long been our goal to make the application process as efficient and easy as possible for you. On the website the majority of applications are approved and licensed within minutes. This translates to an enormous savings of time and money for everyone, and it also saves on paper, helping us to reduce our environmental footprint.

    I Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., September 1, 1927 GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS .):tb scononammammannunma Di+fa A DAY WITH JESUS BY FREDERICK GRIGGS A Morning Contemplation THE night is past; the morn has come! God has this day " raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." In busy mart, as well as in quiet retreat, we are to be with Him. We are not to stand, but to sit to rest. With Him in these " heavenly places " are the Holy Spirit, and the angels — other heavenly beings with whom we may also commune. They are free from the power of sin; so may we be. They hymn God's praises; so may we. They have eternal life; so may we this day have its power working within us. They are happy in service for others; we may share their happiness of service all this day. 0 the blessedness of the riches of God in Christ Jesus! All that these heavenly beings who have never fallen have, we also are privileged this day to have in Christ Jesus! Friends talk together of things in which they are mutually interested; so shall we this day commune with Jesus and with holy, unfallen beings, and that, too, in " heav- enly places." A Noonday Meditation My prayer this morning was, " Teach me Thy way, 0 Lord, and lead me in a plain path; " and God's answer was, " Ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace." My prayer has been answered, God's promise fulfilled.
