Abstract

This thesis is a survey of the life and writings of American playwright Maxwell Anderson. He has made his place in the American theatre and in the higher theatres of dramatic poetry. His plays will live and in some measure accomplish that which he has set out to do, which was to make the American theatre a living thing, for he believes that only through its theatre will a nation be known in generations to come.
