Bøger af Githa Sowerby

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.

With efforts by feminist scholars and theatre artists to rediscover the work of forgotten women writers, Githa Sowerby and her dramas have secured renewed interest. This Broadview edition provides historical contexts for Sowerby's dramas, and demonstrates the ongoing cogency of these dynamic, insightful, and engaging plays.

First staged in 1912 at the Court Theatre, to considerable acclaim, this play is set in the North Yorkshire home of an oppressive patriarch. It portrays his obsession with his glass manufacturing business and his tyranny over the wrecked lives of his family.
