Now back in print, this one-of-a-kind volume of fifteen short symbolist plays from around the world, written between 1890 and 1918, is even more timely in today's turn to the spiritual and subjective modes of being. It includes often little-known plays by Strindberg, Maeterlinck, Hoffmansthal, Rachilde, Tagore, Yeats, Valle-Inclan, Blok, Bely, Briusov, Stevens, and others.
