In theorizing the failure of the Enlightenment and the rise of the postmodern Sublime, this work encompasses all the major thinkers from Hegel, Nietzsche, Derrida, ?i?ek, Jameson, Adorno, Lyotard, Bauman to Baudrillard thereby tracing out the evolution of modernity to postmodernity substantiated in the dramatic works by Shaw, O’Neill, Synge, Joyce, Pledger, Pinter and Beckett.
This work tackles the compelling subject of the postmodern sublime, which renders objects, referents or the reality sublime i.e., unrecognizable and unpresentable beyond human imagination and understanding. Compared to preceding dramaturgical research on postmodern drama highlighting the two vital elements of mise-en- scene, i.e., playfulness and performativity, the thesis of this work is epistemological based on a tripartite taxonomy of the postmodern sublime: 1) the politico-economical sublime; 2) the textual sublime; 3) the technological sublime. The epistemological approach thus questions the nature of reality represented on stage in lieu of dramaturgical strategies or performance phenomena currently practiced among drama critics. |

Hoon-sung Hwang’s excellent systematic study of modern drama captures the historical, political, and aesthetic context of the great shift from modernity to postmodernity. In theorizing the failure of the Enlightenment and the rise of the postmodern Sublime, Hwang encompasses all the major thinkers from Hegel to Jameson, and from Derrida and Lyotard to Bourdieu. The (English) drama highlights the major shifts in human thinking about these concepts and also, according to Hwang is itself illuminated through these concepts. The genealogy traced through Shaw and O’Neill to Pinter and Beckett is compelling and insightful, and the volume will help specialists and non-specialists alike develop an understanding of the seismic changes in the philosophy and art of the last and present century. - Janelle Reinelt (Emeritus Professor of Theatre and Performance University of Warwick)

Professor Hoon-sung Hwang’s study of modern British drama in the context of Western thought from the Enlightenment to the present provides us with not only brilliant close readings of the work of playwrights from Shaw to Beckett but also valuable insights into the limits of our belief in “progress” and the possibilities of postmodern cultural critique. - Elaine Kim (Emeritus Professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies UC Berkeley)
