Miss Julie

Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
Bored with her sheltered existence, Miss Julie attempts to seduce the footman, but gets far more than she bargained for…
August Strindberg's classic naturalistic play Miss Julie was written in 1888, and first performed at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1889, despite being banned by the censor.
This English version, translated and introduced by Kenneth McLeish, is published in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series. The volume also includes Strindberg's Preface.

Quotes

  • Фроhas quoted8 years ago
    Expressionism and Impressionism were its immediate followers, and Freudianism, Existentialism, Absurdism and a dozen other isms lay not far down the same road. In their light, and despite the existence of a couple of dozen masterpieces (among them Miss Julie), it seems clear that Naturalistic ideas worked best when taken up and used for their own purposes and in their own ways by writers of other kinds, such as Ibsen (and in fiction, later, Proust and the young James Joyce).
  • Фроhas quoted8 years ago
    The Father had been respectfully received, but he himself felt that in it he had had to make too many concessions to conventional form and style – in a word, that it was too ‘Ibsenish’
