August Strindberg's 'Plays by August Strindberg, Fourth Series' is a collection of thought-provoking and intense plays that showcase his innovative theatrical style. Known for his naturalistic approach and psychological depth, Strindberg delves into themes of marriage, societal norms, and human nature with raw honesty and complexity. The plays included in this collection offer a window into the tumultuous relationships and inner turmoil of the characters, inviting readers to reflect on the darker aspects of love and power dynamics. August Strindberg, a prominent Swedish playwright, was a key figure in the development of modern drama. His own struggles with personal relationships and mental health greatly influenced his work, leading him to create a body of plays that challenge conventional theatrical conventions and push boundaries of storytelling. 'Plays by August Strindberg, Fourth Series' is a testament to Strindberg's genius and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience with depth and nuance. I highly recommend 'Plays by August Strindberg, Fourth Series' to readers who appreciate bold and thought-provoking drama. This collection is a must-read for those interested in exploring the psychological depths of human relationships and the impact of societal expectations on individual behavior.

Contemporary British Television Crime Drama examines one of the medium’s most popular genres and places it within its historical and industrial context. The television crime drama has proved itself capable of numerous generic reinventions and continues to enjoy some of the highest viewing figures. Crime drama offers audiences stories of right and wrong, moral authority asserted and resisted, and professionals and criminals, doing so in ways that are often highly entertaining, innovative, and thought provoking. In examining the appeal of this highly dynamic genre, this volume explores how it responds not only to changing social debates on crime and policing, but also to processes of hybridization within the television industry itself. Contributors, many of whom are leading figures in UK television studies, analyse popular series such as Broadchurch, Between the Lines, Foyle’s War, Poirot, Prime Suspect, Sherlock and Wallander. Essays examine the main characteristics of television crime drama production, including the nature of trans-Atlantic franchises and literary and transnational adaptations. Adopting a range of feminist, historical, aesthetic and industrial approaches, they offer incisive interrogations that provide readers with a rich understanding of the allure of crime drama to both viewers and commissioners.

This book rediscovers and re-evaluates the work of the Welsh dramatist J. O. Francis (1882–1954) and his contribution to the development of Welsh drama in the twentieth century. More than a prize-winning dramatist, whose plays were performed all over the world, Francis can also be described as one of the founding fathers of modern Welsh drama, whose work has helped establish theatrical realism on the Welsh stage. His creative non-fiction for the popular press and for radio gives a unique perspective on how Wales was seen through the eyes of a perceptive London-Welsh observer. Using much previously unpublished material, this volume is an excellent introduction to one of Wales’s foremost dramatists, and is innovative in the way that it creates a picture of the amateur dramatic scene of south Wales (1920–40) based on sound statistical analysis of available evidence. It situates Francis’s work in its cultural context and brings this exciting period in Welsh cultural history to life in its introduction to a new audience.
