Classicism in the North American Theatre of the Twentieth Century: Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller
The North American theater, opposed by the puritans of New England, has its first manifestations in the southern colonies in 600 (mostly imitative) and continues, with local and melodramatic colors, in 700 and 800. The great theatre has great development in the twentieth century, with O'Neill (son of Irish emigrants), T. Williams (south) and A. Miller, the last of which goes beyond the century to reach the twenty-first century. The classic crosses it, fil rouge, up to the contemporaneity, renewing itself from time to time in the forms and in the contents. A volume now "in progress" edited by Caterina Ricciardi highlights many aspects of the classic in various authors of the twentieth century in the United States, including "The Salesman between tragic and satirical with echoes of Mozart. Some aspects of the essay will be dealt with in the first part of the course, before the publication of the volume.
