Notes

【Course Objectives】

The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to twentieth century British theatre, and in particular consider the literary, historical, and cultural background to one of the twentieth century’s most influential poets and radio playwrights - Dylan Thomas (1930-2008). We will consider Thomas’s radio drama masterpiece - Under Milk Wood (1954) - in detail to enable familiarity with Thomas’s archetypal characters and theatrical style.
Further course objectives include improvement in discussion skills, and the acquisition of a wider analytical vocabulary.

【Course Contents】

This course will outline a general account of UK postwar drama before focusing on Dylan Thomas’s radio drama - Under Milk Wood. Close textual reading and in-class focus on several major recordings of this extraordinary achievement in modern drama will enable students to become familiar with the experimental style, specific characters, and language of one of the greatest postwar poet-playwrights in English.
