In The Contemporary American Monologue Eddie Paterson looks at the pioneering work of US artists Spalding Gray, Laurie Anderson, Anna Deavere Smith and Karen Finley, and the development of solo performance in the US as a method of cultural and political critique. Ironic confession, post-punk poetry, investigations of race and violence, and subversive polemic, this book reveals the link between the rise of radical monologue in the late 20th century and history of speechmaking, politics, civil rights, individual freedom and the American Dream in the United States. It shows how US artists are speaking back to the cultural, political and economic forces that shape the world. Eddie Patterson traces the importance of the monologue in Shakespeare, Brecht, Beckett, Chekov, Pinter, O'Neill and Williams, before offering a comprehensive analysis of several of the most influential and innovative American practitioners of monologue performance. The volume also contains an interview with artist Karen Finley, on the trajectory of her recent works. The Contemporary American Monologue constitutes the first book-length account of US monologists that links the tradition of oratory and speechmaking in the colony to the appearance of solo performance as a distinctly American phenomenon"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 8 $a Introduction -- Chapter 1: Monologue in Drama -- Chapter 2: Monologue in the US -- Chapter 3: Confessional monologue: Spalding Gray -- Chapter 4: Punk monologue: Laurie Anderson -- Chapter 5: Rights monologue: Anna Deavere Smith -- Chapter 6: Radical monologue: Karen Finley -- Chapter 7: Future monologues Addendum: 'I didn't fall asleep' an interview with Karen Finley -- Endnotes -- Index. 650 0 $a Oratory $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a American drama $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Monologues. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85086917 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS $x History & Criticism. $x History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806998 650 7 $a Monologues. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025594 650 7 $a Oratory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047214 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Methuen drama engage. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014024686 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171228014806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32AC0C84EB9D11E7A465B32097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
