Oh my goodness. I forgot to put the details about this book, because I was being called to dinner.... The book is the Modern American Theater edited by Alvin B. Kernan. It's a selection of critical essays, analyzing (and maybe even critiquing) several plays by American playwrights like Arthur Miller, Thornton Wilder, Tennessee Williams, and William Inge. I originally got from bookmooch, thinking to use it as a teaching tool, because I thought it might have actual plays for students to perform. It didn't and that's why I am getting rid of it, because it is not useful to me, and my collection of books is too large to keep random, not useful books. The book pages are clean and unmarked, IF SLIGHTLY AGED, the cover was slightly abused by previous owners, which was a school library. I would say if you are someone who needs the book for school, it would be useful. Good luck bidding.
