Routledge Revivals: David Rabe (1988)

<p>In the twenty years that preceded the publication of this book in 1988 David Rabe was in the vanguard of playwrights who shaped American theatre. As the first full-length work on Rabe this book laid the groundwork for later critical and biographical studies. The first part consists of an essay that covers three sections: a short biography a summary and evaluation of his formative journalism for the <i>New Haven Register</i> and a detailed and cohesive stage history of his work. The second part presents the most comprehensive and authoritative primary bibliography of Rabe to date with the third section containing a secondary bibliography — including a section on biographical studies.</p>
