Synopsis
Miss Julie - STUDENT EDITION with Notes & Commentary
August Strindberg trans Michael Meyer
Published by Methuen
It is Strindberg's masterpiece in which he presents with startlingly modernity the conflict between sexual and social position
Written at the height of his powers, it belongs to the magnificent series of plays, notably The Father and Creditors, in which he treated sex and marriage with frank realism previously unknown in the theatre
Miss Julie is Strindberg's most widely read and studied play
This is the Student Edition which contains notes, commentary, background and a discussion of interpretations
"Strindberg has been released from his reputation as an interesting madman, and his plays have been increasingly recognised as works of beauty and psychological understanding" ~ Observer
