Blok's plays have received less attention than his poetry in the West, and this book is the first and only English-language monograph devoted to Blok the playwright. In chronological succession, each of Blok's major plays is examined in detail. Special attention is accorded to Blok's relations with the major directors of his time, particularly Meyerhold and Stanislavsky. Blok's role, for instance, in Meyerhold's formulation of the theatre of the grotesque proved to be critical, and his relation to the Moscow Art Theatre just before the October Revolution helped to define the future course of that theatre. Blok's innovative dramatic technique is carefully studied at each stage in his career, from his earliest \"lyric dramas\" , such as \u003cem\u003eA Puppet Show and The Stranger, t\u003c\/em\u003eo his great tragedy \u003cem\u003eThe Rose and the Cross. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237200154968,"sku":"9789057550201","price":109.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789057550201.jpg?v=1770172230","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/lyric-incarnate","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
