Stanley Houghton

    Stanley Houghton war ein bedeutender britischer Dramatiker des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, dessen Werke oft die sozialen Spannungen und Umwälzungen des damaligen Englands thematisierten. Er wurde vor allem für seine Fähigkeit gefeiert, die Sprache und Bräuche der Zeit einzufangen, was seinen Stücken Realismus und Zeitlosigkeit verlieh. Sein bekanntestes Werk, das 1912 uraufgeführt wurde, gilt bis heute als Schlüsselstück zum Verständnis des frühen modernen britischen Theaters. Houghton leistete durch seine Tätigkeit als Theaterkritiker und seine Artikel in angesehenen Zeitungen einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur literarischen Kultur seiner Zeit.
