It mirrors his own departure from the naturalism he had explored in several of his earlier works, as he set forth on a spiritual odyssey. \u003ci\u003eCrimes and Crimes\u003c\/i\u003e (1899), from the beginning of his symbolist mode, is a lighter take on the themes in \u003ci\u003eTo Damascus I\u003c\/i\u003e. The first of a two-part play, \u003ci\u003eDance of Death I\u003c\/i\u003e (1900) depicts a dysfunctional marriage. \u003ci\u003eA Dream Play\u003c\/i\u003e (1901), one of Strindberg's most influential works, shows reality converted into a dream; many critics consider it his greatest play. In 1907, Strindberg founded the Intimate Theater in Stockholm; \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Sonata\u003c\/i\u003e (1907) and \u003ci\u003eThe Pelican\u003c\/i\u003e (1907), which were written for its opening, are two examples of a chamber play, a genre that Strindberg helped to originate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919117729950,"sku":"ING-9780816679744","price":41.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780816679744.jpg?v=1782808154","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780816679744","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
