麦克斯韦尔·安德森(Maxwell An-derson,1888—1956)一生创作了33种戏剧,其中29种在舞台上公演,艺术生涯横跨30余年.他曾两次获得纽约剧评奖,一次普利策奖.安德森对美国戏剧的最大贡献,在于他继承了已成历史绝响的诗剧(Verse Dra-ma)传统,在现代舞台上重现了莎士比亚式的诗剧样式,并用它来反映历史、描述现实和再现低层人民的生活.代表作有《伊利莎白女王》(Elizabeth the Queen,1930)、《苏格兰的玛丽》(Mary of Scotland,1934)、《米奥复仇记》(Winterset,1935)、《突岩》(HighTor,1936)四大名剧.其实,散文体戏剧(Prose Drama)在安德森创作中也占有重要份量.与他的诗体剧取材于历史,以典型的浪漫悲剧为艺术追求不同,安德森的散文体戏剧把关注的目光投放于现实世界,采用自然主义、现实主义的手法,广泛地反映社会生活的不同层面,尤其钟情于战争、政治和法律等严肃的题材.在创作风格上,这类作品更接近于当时的社会问题剧和文化反思剧.

His masterpieces include Elizabeth the Queen (1930), Mary of Scotland (1934), Winterset (1935) In fact, Prose Drama also plays an important role in Anderson’s creation.Compared with his poetic dramas in the history and the typical romantic tragedy for the pursuit of art, Anderson The prose drama focuses on the real world and uses naturalism and realism to widely reflect the different aspects of social life, especially on the serious issues of war, politics and law. In style, these works are more similar to the social issues and cultural reflections of the time.
