Freedom of Thought in Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee's Inherit the Wind

192 Seiten, Taschenbuch, ab 15 bis 17 Jahre

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Written during the McCarthy era, Inherit the Wind dramatized the infamous Scopes trial, at times shifting the focus from freedom of thought to the theory of evolution. In the twenty-first century, the play brings renewed attention to religion in politics and education, and issues of individual freedom. This book offers an in-depth examination of freedom of thought, produces a series of essays which seek to complicate and expand upon freedom of through as it relates to the play, and provides readers with contemporary perspectives on the issue.
