| Popis: | In his Cornell University lectures a few years ago the critic Joseph Wood Krutch remarked that "Strindberg is ... directly or indirectly the strongest literary influence upon the currently admired Tennessee Williams, I should be willing to wager. Mr. Krutch was wrong about some things in those lectures. He persisted in calling Strindberg a Dane, and in getting play plots mixed up. And he thought the influence of Strindberg on Williams was largely a deleterious, a damaging one. But he was fundamentally right in observing what I should prefer to call an affinity, a relationship that needs to be explored. |
