Plays by August Strindberg, Fourth Series

About

The fourth series of Strindberg's plays in English translation completes the picture of his late expressionist period. This volume likely includes works such as The Great Highway or other chamber plays in which Strindberg pushes toward allegory and symbol rather than naturalist representation. The late Strindberg — working in the decade before his death in 1912 — was simultaneously his most formally radical and most personally confessional, and these plays reward readers willing to meet their difficulty.
