Description

Explore the profound connection between ancient history and American drama in this Routledge monograph. This volume examines how twentieth-century dramatist Robert E. Sherwood utilized the classical past to analyze and critique significant events and trends within American history. Readers will find a detailed study of Sherwood's comedies and his application of both Greek Old and New Comedy. The text also investigates how he processed his World War I experiences through the lens of Livy's historical accounts of the war with Carthage. During the 1930s, Sherwood turned to the Peloponnesian War as a way to warn the public about the rising dangers of conflict between democratic forces. This book provides a deep look at how classical literature serves as a tool for social and political commentary in American theater.
