Although White's 1973 Nobel Prize was for his novels, Denise Varney and Sandra D'Urso present a compelling and detailed case for the drama's enduring status. Their thoughtful exploration of the 1960s rejection of White's drama reveals a radical challenge to types of modernist governance and sovereignty including the Australian separation from British culture.' - Peta Tait FAHA, Emeritus Professor, Theatre and Drama, HUSS, La Trobe University, Australia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'\u003ci\u003eAustralian Theatre, Modernism and Patrick White\u003c\/i\u003e details the rejection of two Patrick White plays -\u003ci\u003e\u0026amp;nbsp;The Ham Funeral \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNight on Bald Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e.'\u0026amp;nbsp;- by the Adelaide Festival of Arts in Australia in the early 1960s\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924869431454,"sku":"ING-9781783088355","price":79.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781783088355.jpg?v=1782954136","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781783088355","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
