Reseña: Miss Julie (1888) written in a fortnight was regarded by Strindberg as his masterpiece the first naturalistic tragedy of the Swedish drama. Shocking in subject-matter revolutionary in technique it was fiercely attacked on publication for immorality. On Midsummer Eve Miss Julie the daughter of a count sleeps with her fathers valet Jean. The subsequent conflict between sexual passion and social position which leads to her suicide is presented with startling modernity. The plays premiere at Strindbergs experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by the censor and its first public production three years later in Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one performance. Miss Julie has since become one of Strindbergs most popular and frequently performed plays. Commentary and notes by David Thomas and Jo Taylor.
