In Marginalized: Southern Women Playwrights Confront Race, Region, and Gender, author Casey Kayser addresses these gaps by examining the work of southern women playwrights, making the argument that representations of the American South on stage are complicated by difficulties of identity, genre, and region. Through analysis of the dramatic texts, the rhetoric of reviews of productions, as well as what the playwrights themselves have said about their plays and productions, Kayser delineates these challenges and argues that playwrights draw on various conscious strategies in response. These strategies, evident in the work of playwrights such as Pearl Cleage, Sandra Deer, Lillian Hellman, Beth Henley, Marsha Norman, and Shay Youngblood, provide them with the opportunity to lead audiences to reconsider monolithic understandings of northern and southern regions and, ultimately, create new visions of the South"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Conclusion. $t Lillian Hellman's South -- South to a familiar place : from Beth Henley to Elizabeth Dewberry and Sandra Deer -- "Another world, another planet" : the displaced South in the work of Paula Vogel and Pearl Cleage -- Re-placing genre, setting, and community in Shay Youngblood's and Sharon Bridgforth's plays -- $t Conclusion. 650 0 $a American drama $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American drama $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women dramatists, American. 650 0 $a Race relations in literature. 650 0 $a Gender identity in literature. 650 0 $a Regionalism in literature. 650 7 $a American drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806998 650 7 $a American drama $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807032 650 7 $a Gender identity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939607 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Race relations in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086563 650 7 $a Regionalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093231 650 7 $a Women dramatists, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177582 651 0 $a Southern States $x In literature. 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kayser, Casey. $t Marginalized $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021 $z 9781496835925 $w (DLC) 2021021061 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3EC81BF6072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
