They all strived in some way to exert some corrective influence on the spectator and his society ... If the playwright's purpose stems from his desire to transform the spectator and his society, what are the principal tools at his disposal to address this purpose? This monograph attempts to address this question."--Preface 520 $a "This stirring monograph is about the means which playwrights who desire to create change in the world can implement their purpose. Lerner argues that the most potent tool to profoundly mobilize an audience is the catharsis, which he explores and redefines here in a revolutionary way, clarifying the basic Aristotelian principles as to how a playwright might create it."--Publisher's description 500 $a "This monograph [is] taken from the third chapter of my book, The Playwright's Purpose"--Preface 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 72-73). 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Drama $x Technique. 650 0 $a Drama $y 20th century $x Theory, etc. $x Theory, etc. 650 0 $a Tragic, The. 650 0 $a Catharsis. 650 0 $a Drama $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Drama $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Dramatists. 650 7 $a Catharsis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849065 650 7 $a Drama $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897493 650 7 $a Drama $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897500 650 7 $a Drama $x Technique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897512 650 7 $a Dramatists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897549 650 7 $a Tragic, The. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154367 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Kaynar, Gad, $d 1947- $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Fainstein, Natalie, $e translator. 700 1 $a Posnick, Michael, $d 1942- $e editor. 830 0 $a Dreaming the Americas series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14006662253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
