World-renowned historian Howard Zinn has turned to drama to explore the legacy of Karl Marx and Emma Goldman and to delve into the intricacies of political and social conscience perhaps more deeply than traditional history permits. Three Plays brings together all this work; including the previously unpublished Daughter of Venus; along with a new introductory essay on political theater; and prefaces to each of the plays.From the Trade Paperback edition.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Washington. D.C. as a place of spiritual pilgrimage...By Sherry AustinWho would have thought of Washington. D.C. as a spiritual destination? You will think so after reading this rich. soulful guidebook to the capitals architectural idiosyncrasies. This author. whom I find more inspiring and much more readable than mythologist Joseph Campbell. escorts the reader on a journey to the mythic center of what Lincoln called "the last great hope of mankind." What better time in our history to visit and revisit it as sacred space. In the words of the author. "to visit Washington is to experience the retelling of a story of mythic proportions." The conclusions Meyer draws from his epiphany. described in the chapter entitled "Reflections." are alone worth the price of the book.
