Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 4to. Wrappers. 500 copies printed. Joan Ure (nom de plume of Elizabeth Thomson Clark, née Carswell, 1918-1978) was best known for her work for the Scottish theatre, and her collaboration with Ian Hamilton Finlay. The only book she published in her lifetime was Two Plays (1970 - Seven Cha…racters out of the Dream and I See Myself as This Young Girl). Alasdair Gray met Ure through Archie Hind, and is as generous about her as he is bitter about her critical predicament. "Joan's plays had few productions because she worked in Scotland where hardly any theatres use local authors. Her plays were mostly short, witty, and managements distrust new writing that is cleverer than them. They think it may be stupid . . . Since her death in 1978," he writes, "Joan's work has been unfairly neglected. I am glad to see this book of her poems." "There was this woman and she had this tiny talent. / I call it talent for things must have a name. / She had this talent that it happened to be death / to hide. She knew this empirically because, having, / the first time, tried to hide it, she / broke out in a rash. / But she was Scots and difficult to convince . . .".

Brossura. Condizione: new. A cura di Poggi V.Rimini, 2010; br., pp. 196, cm 12x17.(Episodi. 15). Come una ragazzina e Riprendi la tua costola!, drammi scritti da Joan Ure rispettivamente nel 1968 e 1974, affrontano i temi della condizione ed emancipazione della donna da una prospettiva sui generis. Come già Qualcosa anche per Of…elia (edito da Panozzo Editore nel 2007) questi drammi offrono il confronto, e talvolta lo scontro, tra modi diversi di rapportarsi a sé e al mondo, con la leggerezza e l'ironia che caratterizza tutta l'opera di Joan Ure. Libro.
