- Summary
- "Over centuries drama developed to be an influential and imaginative medium for presenting, analysing and often offering ways of resolving real or fictional battles.'Experience'd Age knows what for Youth is fit'? offers academic and non-academic readers a very timely study of intergenerational conflicts and crises as seen through the eyes of male and female British and Irish playwrights from various centuries. This volume suggest that at the heart of intergenerational discord lie various crises between (the) age(d) and youth, or, more generally, the ideas of what is "old" and "new", and how they interact or co-exist in their em-bodied or symbolic/conceptual form. The collection is built around the words "age(d)/young", and they denote both the calendar/biological age of the characters - the agents or participants of conflict - as well as these words' more conceptual potential - new centuries, new generations, new theatres, new dramatic styles and their representations on stage and in print, and, whenever possible, the reception of such changes by the audiences. Thus, the authors within this collection of essays analyse the idea of intergenerationality within selected dramatic works but also as seen in clashes of cultures, artistic visions, concepts and aesthetic idea(l)s"--
