Description
|
|
|
|
The first single-volume reference of its kind, this comprehensive 1969 work traces world drama from its earliest ritual forms. It focuses on the literary content of the plays, with articles by nearly 100 contributors, in such categories as national drama, playwrights, plays, and genres. Listings by country present a historical survey of national dramas; individual entries for playwrights offer biographies and critical evaluations. The most significant plays include a synopsis and critical commentary, and the book is illustrated with 350 black and white photos and engravings.
