Abel, Lionel. Metatheatre: a new view of dramatic form. New York: Hill and Wang, 1964, 2d printing, 146pp., small PAPERBACK, cover price $1.45, very good, previous owner's name and a few pencil marks inside front cover. Cover design by Saul Lambert. A Dramabook. - CONTENTS: Tragedy -- Metatheatre -- Relevancies. // This book introduces a new word: Metatheatre. The word metatheatre introduces a new way of looking at drama. The author of this book says that metatheatre is the right term to describe the only form possible to the contemporary playwright who wishes to treat a subject gravely. Tragedy, invented by the Greeks to describe pain and yet give pleasure, is unrealizable today. Realism, confronting us with the sufferings of life, can give satisfaction. But realism cannot exalt, as tragedy did. How can the modern dramatist describe suffering, yet keep it at a pleasurable, a contemplative, distance? Only through metatheatre, says Mr. Abel. His fascinating essays explain the nature and importance of metatheatre -- in Calderdon or Shakespeare, as well as in Brecht or Genet. Lionel Abel is a playwright and critic. His Absalom won two awards as the best Off-Broadway play of 1956 and elicited this comment from Camus: "A new playwright changes the world Absalom shows that Lionel Abel is a new playwright." Saul Bellow called Mr. Abel s play, The Death of Odysseus, "a wonderfully intelligent and enchanting comedy." And Harold Clurman characterized The Pretender as an unusual play " so rare in the American theatre as to constitute not only a virtue but a pleasure." Mr. Abel received a Guggenheim Fellowship for drama in 1958-59, and in 1960 a Longview Award for his piece on The Connection, "Not Everyone Is in the Fix," which appears in this volume. His criticism has long appeared in magazines such as Partisan Review, Kenyon Review, Commentary, The New Republic, and The Nation. Alfred Kazin in Contemporaries, writes, "Of the newer critics writing in English, I admire the dramatic criticism of Kenneth Tynan, Eric Bentley, and Lionel Abel.".
