Studies in Strindberg

Strindberg's multifaceted artistry is explored through his contributions as a dramatist, autobiographer, painter, letter writer, and theatre director. The book examines individual plays, connecting his theatre to naturalism and absurdism, while highlighting his interest in historical drama as a reflection of personal experiences. It addresses his struggles with transforming life into literature, the influence of musical Expressionism on his later works, and the significance of letter-writing in his creative process. Central to the analysis is the transformative period of the Inferno Crisis, which reshaped his identity as a writer and artist.
