Johan August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist and painter.A bold experimenter and iconoclast throughout, he explored a wide range of dramatic methods and purposes, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and history plays, to his anticipations of expressionist and surrealist dramatic techniques. From his earliest work, Strindberg developed forms of dramatic action, language, and visual composition so innovative that many were to become technically possible to stage only with the advent of film. This volume contains three of his most famous works: Fröken Julie (1888), Fadren (1887) and Ett drömspel (1907).
