This book, only the second so far to have been written on him, argues that the power of his most acclaimed work comes from a reinvigoration of traditional forms of tragedy expressed in a theatricalized working-class language. Butterworth's most developed tragedies invoke myth and legend as a figurative resistance to the flat and crushing instrumentalism of contemporary British political and economic culture. In doing so they summon older, resonant narratives which are both popular and high-cultural in order to address present cultural crises in a language and in a form which possess wide appeal. Tracing the development of Butterworth's work chronologically from Mojo (1995) to The Ferryman (2017), each chapter offers detailed critical readings of a single play, exploring how myth and legend become significant in a variety of ways to Butterworth's presentation of cultural and personal crisis. 001433267 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 1, 2021). 001433267 60010 $$aButterworth, Jez$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001433267 650_0 $$aDramatists, English$$y21st century. 001433267 650_0 $$aTheater. 001433267 650_0 $$aDrama. 001433267 650_6 $$aDramaturges anglais$$y21e siècle. 001433267 650_6 $$aThéâtre. 001433267 650_6 $$aThéâtre (Genre littéraire) 001433267 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001433267 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433267 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030627101$$z9783030627102$$w(OCoLC)1198715361 001433267 852__ $$bebk 001433267 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-62711-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433267 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433267$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433267 980__ $$aBIB 001433267 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433267 982__ $$aEbook 001433267 983__ $$aOnline 001433267 994__ $$a92$$bISE
