Instability marked the life of August Strindberg. One of eleven children —- only seven survived to adulthood —- Strindberg's mother died when he was thirteen years old, just a few years after his father declared bankruptcy. Abandoning Sweden for greater Europe, he eventually achieved infamy for his play, Miss Julie, which critics attacked as immoral and overtly sexual. But to Strindberg, he was simply expressing a natural truth: Life is chaos and chaos is at the heart of all art. In that same spirit, Strindberg went on to write some of the greatest masterpieces of modern theater: The Stronger, A Dream Play, and The Ghost Sonata.
Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Strindberg and the plays he wrote. Read Strindberg in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!
