«La señorita Julie» is the play by August Strindberg, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
The play, framed in Strindberg's naturalist period, presents a woman raised like a man and a man who aspires to power and seeks to achieve it through her in the rigid Swedish society of the time. It explores the search for identity and love, class and gender struggle, and a society in full change. The author's preface became a highly significant theatrical manifesto.
This 2008 edition belongs to the Letras Universales collection and has been prepared by Vicente R. Sanchis Caparrós. The work was originally published in 1888 under the title «Fröken Julie».
Recommended for students of literature and theatre and for readers interested in Strindberg's naturalist drama.
Johan August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist, and painter. A prolific writer who often drew directly on his personal experience, Strindberg wrote more than 60 plays and more than 30 works of fiction, autobiography, history, cultural analysis, and politics during his career, which spanned four decades. A bold experimenter and iconoclast throughout his life, he explored a wide range of dramatic methods and purposes, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and historical plays to his anticipations of expressionist and surrealist dramatic techniques. From his earliest work, Strindberg developed innovative forms of dramatic action, language, and visual composition. He is considered the "father" of modern Swedish literature and his The Red Room (1879) has frequently been described as the first modern Swedish novel. In Sweden, Strindberg is known as an essayist, painter, poet, and especially novelist and playwright, but in other countries he is known mostly as a playwright.
