Tennessee Williams's plays are performed around the world, and are staples of American repertory. His portrayals of women have challenged feminist critics, and as America's leading gay playwright from the postwar period through the growth of gay liberation, he represents an important and controversial figure for queer theorists. This comprehensive collection reflects the current critical debates regarding Williams, with essays by eminent scholars covering all aspects of Williams's work, including his complex relationship with American realism. Includes chapters on all of Williams's plays, an substantial introduction, a chronology, and bibliography.
