With the skills of a playwright, the vision of a producer, and the wisdom of an experienced teacher, David Rush offers a fresh and innovative guide to interpreting drama in A Student Guide to Play Analysis, the first undergraduate teaching tool to address postmodern drama in addition to classic and modern. Covering a wide gamut of texts and genres, this far-reaching and user-friendly volume is easily paired with most anthologies of plays and is accessible even to those without a literary background. Contending that there are no right or wrong answers in play analysis, Rush emphasizes the importance of students developing insights of their own. The process is twofold: understand the critical terms that are used to define various parts and then apply these to a particular play. Rush clarifies the concepts of plot, character, and language, advancing Aristotle{u2019}s concept of the Four Causes as a method for approaching a play through various critical windows. He describes the essential difference between a story and a play, outlines four ways of looking at plays, and then takes up the typical structural devices of a well-made play, four primary genres and their hybrids, and numerous styles, from expressionism to postmodernism. For each subject, he defines critical norms and analyzes plays common to the canon. A Student Guide to Play Analysis draws on thoughtful examinations of such dramas as The Cherry Orchard, The Good Woman of Setzuan, Fences, The Little Foxes, A Doll House, The Glass Menagerie, and The Emperor Jones. Each chapter ends with a list of questions that will guide students in further study.

La 4e de couv. indique :"L'analyse des textes poétiques apparaît souvent comme une entreprise difficile. La diversité des formes déconcerte et leur spécificité rend inopérante l'application systématique de recettes préalables. Pourtant, un poème est objet de langage au même titre qu'un récit ou une pièce de théâtre, et, en tant que tel, son commentaire appelle une démarche réfléchie et raisonnée. Analyser un poème consiste à mobiliser un savoir pour étudier comment une oeuvre signifie. Cet ouvrage étudie chacun des éléments constitutifs du discours poétique, dont le rythme, auquel il consacre un chapitre. Il propose en fin de parcours le commentaire de trois textes, Abel et Cain de Charles Baudelaire, Feuillets d'Hypnos de René Char et Les Complaintes de Jules Laforgue. Outre des méthodes d'analyse précises, on trouvera dans cet ouvrage des réponses claires à des problèmes de théorie poétique souvent ignorés. Cette quatrième édition a été entièrement revue et augmentée."
