Book Synopsis Revision as Resistance in Twentieth-Century American Drama by : M. Malburne-Wade
Book excerpt: American dramas consciously rewrite the past as a means of determined criticism and intentional resistance. While modern criticism often sees the act of revision as derivative, Malburne-Wade uses Victor Turner's concept of the social drama and the concept of the liminal to argue for a more complicated view of revision.
