History of the Theatre (9th Edition)
The Ninth Edition retains all of the traditional features that
have made History of the Theatre a classic for over thirty years,
including over 530 photos and illustrations, useful maps, and
the expertise of Oscar Brockett, one of the most widely respected
theatre historians in the field. Franklin J. Hildy contributes
his scholarship and experience throughout the book and, in particular,
to a discussion of English Theatre/Shakespeare (Ch. 5). Reorganized
with more uniform chapter lengths and a clearer chronology, the
ninth edition continues to provide the most thorough and accurate
assessment of theatre history available. For anyone involved
with, or interested in, the theatre. |

Living Theatre: A History
Living Theater: A History conveys the excitement and variety
of theater throughout time and the dynamic way in which our interpretation
of theater history is informed by contemporary scholarship. Rather
than presenting readers with a mere catalog of historical facts
and figures, Wilson and Goldfarb set each period in context through
an exploration of the social, political and economic conditions
of the day, and create a vivid study of the developments in theater
during that time. Changes to the third edition include the addition
of new biographies of key players in the dramatic world, expanded
existing biographies, and a completely revised chapter on early
Asian theater. |
