Plays of expectations : intertextual relations in Russian twentieth-century drama

"Expectation is an integral part of the reading experience, and drama is a particularly rich and rewarding field for studying the complex ways in which such expectations are created. Theatre audiences and readers of plays are encouraged in a variety of ways to guess at what might unfold on the stage and on the page. Plays of Expectations explores these expectations through the lens of twentieth-century Russian drama."--Jacket
