About the Author:
Laurence Senelick is Fletcher Professor of Drama at Tufts University. He is the author of Gender in Performance (1992).
From Library Journal:
During the period in which the six plays in this anthology were written and first performed, homosexuality was beginning to "come out of the closet" and be used as a theme in art and literature. The plays, which represent the United States, Britain, Germany, Russia, and France, depict varying types of same-sex love. Included are The Blackmailer, a society comedy by associates of Oscar Wilde, and Ania and Esther by Klaus Mann, son of Thomas Mann. Each play is accompanied by an introduction, author biography, and production history. Senelick (drama, Tufts) provides a valuable introduction to the history of gay theater. While most of the plays offer a rather negative view of same-sex love, they do represent an important piece of gay and lesbian history. Recommended for theater arts and gay/lesbian collections.AHoward Miller, St. Louis
