Synopsis This subject looks at the emergence of modernist dramatic forms in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe. The focus is at once on concepts of `the modern' and on critical analysis of the texts and performance styles usually associated with a range of artistic ideas and movements such as naturalism, expressionism, surrealism, absurdism and epic theatre.
