Tragedy in the Contemporary American Theatre examines plays by multiple contemporary playwrights and compares them alongside the works of America s major twentieth-century tragedians: Eugene O Neill, Arthur Miller, and Tennessee Williams. The book argues that tragedy is not only present in contemporary American theatre, but issues from an expectation fundamental to American culture: the pressure on characters to create themselves.
