Following successful productions of the play, Glaspell became the \"mother of American drama.\" Her short story version of \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e, \"A Jury of Her Peers,\" reached an unprecedented one million readers in 1917. The play and the story have since been taught in classrooms across America and \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e is regularly revived on stages around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This collection of fresh essays celebrates the centennial of \u003ci\u003eTrifles\u003c\/i\u003e and \"A Jury of Her Peers,\" with departures from established Glaspell scholarship. Interviews with theater people are included along with two original works inspired by Glaspell's iconic writings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262897967448,"sku":"9781476662114","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781476662114.jpg?v=1765593043","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-susan-glaspells-trifles-and-a-jury-of-her-peers","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
