Description

This scholarly monograph examines how twentieth-century American dramatist Robert E. Sherwood drew upon the classical past to critique significant events and trends in American history. The study traces Sherwood's engagement with Greek Old and New Comedy, his reinterpretation of Livy's account of the Carthaginian Wars through the lens of his World War I experiences, and his strategic use of the Peloponnesian War during the 1930s as a template for warning an American public about the looming conflict between democratic and totalitarian forces. Published by Routledge as part of the Monographs in Classical Studies series, this volume offers scholars and students of American drama, classical reception, and twentieth-century history a detailed analysis of how ancient sources informed Sherwood's theatrical vision and his engagement with contemporary political anxieties.

Key Features
