Description

Published in 1947, A Streetcar Named Desire garnered Tennessee Williams the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics' Award. Considered a lyrical masterpiece, the drama reveals the destructive impact that ensues when romantic impulse encounters animal vitalism. The title, Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Tennessee Williams, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
