![]() ![]() The academic readership will, certainly, benefit from this book since English and, especially, American drama is not appropriately represented by the number of book titles it deserves world-wide. ![]() We would like to think that this book will appeal both to an academic and non-academic readership. Finally, we settled on the title HIGHLIGHTS IN ANGLO-AMERICAN DRAMA: VIEWPOINTS FROM SOUTH-EAST EUROPE which, we believe, best reflects the joint interests and efforts of our contributors, who range from experienced scholars of international standing, to mid-career specialists, and young scholars with remarkable international references.

The scholars who participated in the conference’s literature section were able to witness that most of the papers presented focused on (post)modern Anglo-American drama which led us to conclude that Anglo-American drama is a growing field of interest among regional literature scholars this gave us the inspiration to work towards creating a book on the topic. ![]() The trigger which led us to embark on this project was the Word Across Cultures Conference organised by the Institute of Foreign Languages, University of Montenegro in Podgorica, Montenegro in July 2014. ![]() HIGHLIGHTS IN ANGLO-AMERICAN DRAMA: VIEWPOINTS FROM SOUTH-EAST EUROPE: AN INTRODUCTION RADMILA NASTIĆ AND VESNA BRATIĆ The present volume represents viewpoints on some of the aspects of modern Anglo-American drama and dramatists written by scholars from ex-Yugoslav republics, resulting from long years of common interest and cooperation in the field between the corresponding English Departments in the region.

Pinter’s activity across different media of expression makes his work a productive focus for a study of transmediality, and this article focuses on his formal experimentation in television, radio and cinema as well as theatre. This is the Introduction to a special issue of the Historical Journal of Film, Radio & TV about the dramatist Harold Pinter. ![]()
