Kronbruden

AUTHOR Strindberg, August
PUBLISHER Hutson Street Press (05/22/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

This volume contains two plays by August Strindberg: "Kronbruden" (The Crown Bride) and "Drömspelet" (A Dream Play). "Kronbruden", also known as Svanehvit (Swanwhite), is a fairy tale drama filled with symbolism and allegorical characters, exploring themes of innocence, love, and redemption. "Drömspelet" is one of Strindberg's most innovative and influential works, a surreal and fragmented drama that prefigures expressionism and the Theatre of the Absurd. In it, the Daughter of Indra descends to Earth to understand humanity's suffering. The play abandons traditional dramatic structure, following the logic of a dream where time and space are fluid. These plays showcase Strindberg's versatility and his profound impact on modern drama.

Author: Strindberg, August
August Stringberg was a novelist, poet, playwright, and painter, and is considered to be the father of modern Swedish literature, publishing the country's first modern novel, The Red Room, in 1879. Strindberg was prolific, penning more than 90 works--including plays, novels, and non-fiction--over the course of his career. However, he is best-known for his dramatic works, many of which have been met with international acclaim, including The Father, Miss Julie (Miss Julia), Creditors, and A Dream Play. Strindberg died in 1912 following a short illness, but his work continues to inspire later playwrights and authors including Tennessee Williams, Maxim Gorky, and Eugene O'Neill.
