Robert Woodruff Anderson Papers

Résumé du livre

The collection, consisting mainly of Anderson's manuscript and typescript plays and screenplays, covers the time period 1931 to the present day, with the bulk of the materials representing his work from the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular importance are the author's notes that accompany the drafts. These notes provide valuable insight into the activities and events surrounding the formation of the works. Such notes, provided by the author and attached to the drafts, offer a rare glimpse into the development of not only the individual plays, but into the development of Anderson as a playwright.
