This is the first book-length consideration of Beth Henley's work. The original essays focus on her status as a southern writer, her use of the comic grotesque, and her alleged feminist critiques of modern society.
Beth Henley was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Drama and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play for her first full-length play, Crimes of the Heart , yet there has been no book-length consideration of her body of work until now. This volume includes original essays that contextualize and analyze her works from a variety of perspectives, focusing on her vexed status as a southern writer, her use of the comic grotesque, and her alleged feminist critiques of modern society. Receiving special attention are lesser-known plays which are crucial to understanding Henley''s development as a playwright and postmodern thinker.
