Dirk Gindt offers a detailed study of the production and reception of Williams' work on Swedish and French stages at the height of his popularity between 1945 and 1965. Analysing the national openings of seminal plays, including \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Menagerie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCat on a Hot Tin Roof\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrpheus Descending\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSuddenly Last Summer, \u003c\/i\u003e Gindt provides rich and nuanced insights into Williams' transnational impact. In the process, he charts a network of fascinating and influential directors, actors, designers, producers and critics, all of whom left distinctive marks on mid-twentieth-century European theatre and culture. Gindt further demonstrates how Williams' work foregrounded cultural apprehensions, racial fantasies and sexual anxieties, which resulted in heated debates in the critical and popular media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dirk Gindt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350022071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350022072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Dirk Gindt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305163342079,"sku":"9781350022072","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e34f84c-3e20-413c-8270-9e91eb374cb4.jpg?v=1758830143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tennessee-williams-in-sweden-and-dirk-gindt-9781350022072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
