Beschreibung
In Three Plays, Luigi Pirandello gathers the theatrical experiments that made him one of the decisive dramatists of the twentieth century. Whether in the metatheatrical audacity of Six Characters in Search of an Author, the philosophical masquerade of Henry IV, or the unstable social inquiry of Right You Are (If You Think So), Pirandello dismantles the certainties of realist drama. His style is lucid yet unsettling, comic in surface movement and tragic in implication, placing him at the threshold of modernism and the Theatre of the Absurd. Pirandello's art grew from a life marked by intellectual rigor, Sicilian social observation, and personal crisis, including his wife's mental illness and his own preoccupation with fractured identity. Trained in philology and steeped in European philosophical skepticism, he repeatedly returned to the conflict between the living self and the masks imposed by family, society, and art. These plays transform biography and theory into dramatic form. This volume is essential for readers interested in modern drama, literary modernism, and the psychology of performance. It rewards both first-time readers and seasoned theatre scholars.
