1720-talets Frankrike. Landets älskade skådespelerska Adrienne Lecouvreur står i centrum. När denna möter greve Moritz av Sachse växer kärleken mellan dem, men ger också upphov till dödliga intriger kring det älskande paret. "Adrienne" är en historisk skildring av en passionerad romans och samtidigt en levande gestaltning av personerna som står i händelsernas mitt. Miljöerna skiftar mellan det franska hovet med en ung Ludvig VX och hans lärare, till teaterlivet med dess vänskap och svartsjuka. Det är en berättelse präglat av grevinnor och hertiginnor, krigare och konstnärer, och författare som Voltaire. Välkända historiska gestalter som kommer till liv i författarens skildring. -

Adrienne Rich is a major American poet who continues to be inspired by the political ideas and activism of various liberation movements of the twentieth century. Whether expressed in poetry or in prose, her ideas have been much debated, particularly within second wave feminism. This unique introduction focuses on Rich's prose work but also makes reference to the poetry where her political ideas and urgencies often find their first expression. Demonstrating the compexity and subtlety of her contribution to feminism, the book outlines her wide-ranging thoughts on, for example, motherhood, heterosexuality, lesbian and Jewish identity, and issues of racial and sexual otherness. Liz Yorke conveys the range and importance of Rich's achievements and highlights the major themes which are interwoven in her work.
An essential collection of works by one of our greatest living playwrights.Introduction by Werner SollorsAdrienne Kennedy has been a force in American theatre since the early 1960s, influencing generations of playwrights with her hauntingly fragmentary lyrical dramas. Exploring the violence racism visits upon people’s lives, Kennedy’s plays express poetic alienation, transcending the particulars of character and plot through ritualistic repetition and radical structural experimentation. Frequently produced, read, and taught, they continue to hold a significant place among the most exciting dramas of the past fifty years. This first comprehensive collection of her most important works traces the development of Kennedy’s unique theatrical oeuvre from her Obie-winning Funnyhouse of a Negro (1964) through significant later works such as A Movie Star Has to Star in Black and White (1976), Ohio State Murders (1992), and June and Jean in Concert, for which she won an Obie in 1996. The entire contents of Kennedy’s groundbreaking collections In One Act and The Alexander Plays are included, as is her earliest work "Because of the King of France" and the play An Evening with Dead Essex (1972). More recent prose writings "Secret Paragraphs about My Brother," "A Letter to Flowers," and "Sisters Etta and Ella" are fascinating refractions of the themes and motifs of her dramatic works, even while they explore new material on teaching and writing. An introduction by Werner Sollors provides a valuable overview of Kennedy’s career and the trajectory of her literary development. Adrienne Kennedy (b. 1931) is a three-time Obie-award winning playwright whose works have been widely performed and anthologized. Among her many honors are the American Academy of Arts and Letters award and the Guggenheim fellowship. In 1995-6, the Signature Theatre Company dedicated its entire season to presenting her work. She has been commissioned to write works for the Public Theater, Jerome Robbins, the Royal Court Theatre, the Mark Taper Forum, and Juilliard, and she has been a visiting professor at Yale, Princeton, Brown, the University of California at Berkeley, and Harvard. She lives in New York City. short author bioAdrienne Kennedy is a three-time Obie-award winning playwright whose works have been widely anthologized and performed around the world.

Reorienting understandings of Adrienne Rich’s later work through her interest in Marx and Marxist politics, this book engages with this overlooked part of her oeuvre through considerations of issues such as race, nationhood, and gender. From 1983 onward, after she visited revolutionary Nicaragua until the end of her life, Rich’s political vision can best be described as Marxist-Humanist. Until recently, very little attention has been paid to Rich’s “interest” in Marx; there is no in-depth treatment of the effect of Marx’s humanistic philosophy on Rich’s later work, or even on her unwavering, but altered dedication to Women’s Liberation. This book fills this gap, showing how Rich’s discovery of Marx’s humanism affected her poetry. In doing so, it makes a significant intervention into debates about the direction of American poetics and argues powerfully for a greater consciousness of political engagement through poetry.
