Description

In Miss Julie, a willful young aristocrat, whose perverse nature has already driven her fiancé to break off their engagement, pursues and effectively seduces her father's valet during the course of a Midsummer's Eve celebration. The progress of that seduction and the play's stunning denouement shocked Swedish audiences who first attended the play in 1889.
Despite its controversial debut, this now-classic drama, inspired by the new ideas of naturalism and psychology that swept Europe in the late 19th century, helped to shape modern theater, and remains one of the most potent-and most frequently performed-of modern plays. The full text of Miss Julie is reprinted here as translated by Edwin Björkman, complete with Strindberg's critical preface to the play, considered by many to be one of the most important manifestos in theater history.

About the Author

August Strindberg (1849–1912) was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures in Swedish literature and theater. He is particularly known for his pioneering contributions to modern drama, and his works had a significant impact on the development of European theater in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Strindberg's works often explore themes of human psychology, social conflict, gender relations, and existential struggles, and he is recognized for his complex, innovative approach to character and narrative.
