Modern theories of drama : a selection of writings on drama and theatre 1850-1990

Because of its close link with stage performance, the theory of drama is of interest not only to practitioners (playwrights, dramaturges, performers) but also to the general reader and the play-goer. Modern Theories of Drama provides a crucial resource for students of drama and theatre studies. The landmark excerpts for this anthology illustrate how dramatically the idea of drama has altered in the last 150 years.
