Know about the book -
Versions of Heroism in Modern American Drama is written by Julie Adam and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1349213632 (ISBN 10) and 9781349213634 (ISBN 13).
Taking as its starting-point the 'death of tragedy' debate, and focusing on the supposed disappearance from the stage of the individual tragic hero, the book views selected plays and writings on the theatre by Miller, Williams, Maxwell Anderson and O'Neill as exemplifying four versions of heroism: idealism, martyrdom, self-reflection and survival. Julie Adam shows that these diverse playwrights share a desire to redefine tragic heroism in individualistic liberal terms.
