With the centennial of his birth celebrated amid a flurry of conferences devoted to his work in 2011; and his plays a central part of any literature and drama curriculum and uibiquitous in theatre repertoires; he remains a giant of twentieth century literature and drama.In Brenda Murphys major study of his work she examines his life and career and provides an analysis of more than a score of his key plays; including in-depth studies of major works such as A Streetcar Named Desire; The Glass Menagerie; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and others. She traces the artist figure who features in many of Williams plays to broaden the discussion beyond the normal reference points.As with other volumes in Methuen Dramas Critical Companions series; this book features too essays by Bruce McConachie; John S. Bak; Felicia Hardison Londreacute; and Annette Saddik; offering perspectives on different aspects of Williams work that will assist students in their own critical thinking.
