Language of Silence On the Unspoken and the Unspeakable in Modern Drama

Examining the plays of Maeterlinck, Chekhov, Jean-Jacques Bernard, Pinter, Albee, and Beckett, this critical study exhibits the eloquence with which silence and inarticulateness portray the experience of inadequacy, incompleteness, impermanence, and uncertainty in early-twentieth-century drama. Moving on to post-World War II drama, the author explores the use of noneloquent speech and silence to convey the alienation and isolation engendered by the rise of political humanity.Kane, Leslie is the author of 'Language of Silence On the Unspoken and the Unspeakable in Modern Drama' with ISBN 9780838631874 and ISBN 0838631878.
