Edward Albee; perhaps best known for his acclaimed and infamous 1960s drama Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; is one of Americas greatest living playwrights. Now in his seventies; he is still writing challenging; award-winning dramas. This collection of essays on Albee; which includes contributions from the leading commentators on Albees work; brings fresh critical insights to bear by exploring the full scope of the playwrights career; from his 1959 breakthrough with The Zoo Story to his recent Broadway success; The Goat; or Who is Sylvia? (2002). The contributors include scholars of both theatre and English literature; and the essays thus consider the plays both as literary texts and as performed drama. The collection considers a number of Albees lesser-known and neglected works; provides a comprehensive introduction and overview; and includes an exclusive; original interview with Mr Albee; on topics spanning his whole career.

I was looking for ideas for antique weathervane forms and this fit perfectly. Now onwards; using my absolute lack of metal working talent I hope to craft a not altogether horrid weathervane.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great inspiration for DIY metalworker or hobbyistBy CustomerA comprehensive collection of antique designs; great inspiration for DIY metalworker or hobbyist.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
