The Complete American Fantasies
ISBN: 9780804009898 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 353 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fantasies to me, as I wrote in an earlier 1983 edition of "American Fantasies," are the active, visionary links between reality and imagination as my characters pursue their destinies. Although we pretend to be a pragmatic, materialistic country, our fantasies, once suppressed by tradition, peer increasingly through the media into our private and public behavior. In this sense fantasies are not daydreams they are the invisible and visible strands of our lives, the dramatic, often incredible images that dominate us, whose actions we pursue.
"As a playwright, too, I have largely struggled... Fantasies to me, as I wrote in an earlier 1983 edition of "American Fantasies," are the active, visionary links between reality and imagination as my ...

5 Plays 5
ISBN: 9780804009683 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 381 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1970 Adrian Hall s production of "Lovecraft s Follies" by the Trinity Repertory Company was praised in "The New York Times" as a hilarious extravaganza with music that is also an earnest attempt to come to grips with the guilts and terrors of the Age of Technology. The sucess of this production heralded James Schevill s arrival as an important American playwright dedicated to a new kind of theatre that he calls in the introduction to this book, Poetic Realism. This volume includes "Lovecraft s Follies" and, published here for the first time, Schevill's most experimental play, "The Ushers,"...

This second volume of James Schevill's collected poems is a companion to his remarkable ongoing sequence of poems, "The American Fantasies," published by Swallow in 1983.

Collected Short Plays
ISBN: 9780804003926 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In a time that emphasizes media spectaculars, the short play offers an exploration of minimal possibilities yet has the power to fix history in a moment's structure, a flash of revelation. The short play is a powerful and innovative theatrical medium, relying upon compression and clarity rather than amplification, and reducing character and action to a spare, dramatic core.
Schevill uses the short play to explore the power of the American environment and its expression in singularly American idioms and rhythms. This collection inclues work produced between the late 1940s and the early...
