An In-depth Study of the Major Plays of African-American Playwright August Wilson: Vernacularizing the Blues on Stage


Overview

"This study of the playwright August Wilson emphasizes his African-American language forms, histories and identities, examining in particular his linguistic and metaphoric borrowing from the blues. It examines aesthetic debates on African-American artistes from the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s. After establishing the cultural and artistic setting, the study then devotes a chapter each to Wilson's most celebrated plays: ""Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"", ""Fences"", ""Joe Turner's Come and Gone"", ""The Piano Lesson"", ""Two Trains Running"" and ""Seven Guitars""."
