Abstract or Description
Critically annotated version of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play which is included, published in full with 22,000-word critical commentary by Deirdre Osborne. The commentary offers new comparisons between the implications of this classic play’s production in American and British contexts (as contoured by changing race relations and contexts for drama from 1950s to now), in a broad-reaching study influenced by the sociology of the theatre.
Review:
“An expertly annotated edition of the classic American text A Raisin in the Sun: exploring the politics, context and themes of this important dramatic work.”
