From the rear cover
In this engrossing study, Elinor Fuchs explores the multiple worlds of theater after modernism. She begins with the decline of character, once the central link between the artist and the spectator. In theatrical modernism Fuchs sees a series of strategies to compensate for this decline. Postmodern theater no longer greets the demotion of character with anxiety, despair, or satisfaction--as in Pirandello, Beckett, or Brecht--but puts in its stead a multiple subject, a protean spectator, and a dispersed field of attention.
