Publishing Athol Fugard

This chapter is concerned with the creation of Athol Fugard’s plays not as performances or as texts, but as material objects: it explores how the social conditions of textual production and circulation have affected their interpretation. It charts the transformation of ‘Fugard’ into an increasingly valuable piece of literary property, on which different meanings have been inscribed. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
