Description
Questions central to the drama of the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) are the distinctions between Life and Form; what is the Self, if indeed there is one; what is Truth; and what is the artist's responsibility in revealing the Self. This book examines the processes by which Pirandello, dramatic innovator and Nobel Laureate, explored the relativity of truth and the stripping away of masks in three major plays. His characters experience these moments of costruirsi as they come face to face with their individual moments of Truth and either disintegrate or become fully realized.
Table of Contents
Contents: Included are analyses of three major Pirandello plays: Six Characters In Search of an Author, It Is If You Think It Is, and Henry IV. In addition, there is a section of The Pirandello Literary Canon and a comprehensive bibliography.
