| Publisher Description: This bilingual English-Swedish study of August Strindberg's renowned play Miss Julie (1888) provides a penetrating analysis of the author's text and of Ingmar Bergman's praised 1985 production. The book is a paradigmatic illustration of similarities and differences between text and performance. The Bergman part is highlighted by a number of black-and-white illustrations from the stage performance. The complete text is also available on the website www.missjulie.eu, where a great many stills and some moving images can be found. |
