Though he believed that poetry was the glory of drama, he also devoted himself to realism. His crowning achievement was \u003ci\u003eWinterset\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he popularized the use of blank verse in contemporary drama. During a career that spanned more than a quarter century, he wrote 33 plays, many of which were produced in European capitals and were translated into more than a dozen languages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a comprehensive guide to Anderson's career, this reference book is an indispensable volume for anyone interested in American drama.
