This edition embraces Strindberg's crucial transition from Naturalism to
Modernism, from his two finest achievements as a psychological realist,
The Father and Miss Julie, to the three plays in which he redefined
the possibilities of European drama following his return to the theatre
in 1898, A Dream Play, The Ghost Sonata, and The Dance of Death.
Michael Robinson's highly performable translations are based on the
authoritative texts of the new edition of Strindberg's collected works
in Sweden and include the Preface to Miss Julie, Strindberg's
manifesto of theatrical naturalism.
