Item description from seller

288 Pages Indexed. Minor highlighting throughout. Interior text pages are flawless. Previously published in the U.S.A. as A concise History of the Theatre. Very high quality paper and stiff covers. 270 Illistrations, 35 in color. Acting, direction, stagecraft, theatre architecture and design, above all the whole extraordinary evoluton of dramatic literature --- here is an all-embracing and illustrated history of theatre, worldwide in scope and ranging from its ancient origins in the choral hymns sung round the altar of Dionysus to the fascinating variety of forms which it has taken in our own age. Phyllis Hartnoll is editor of the Oxford Compnion to the Theatre and is one of the best known of all authorities on theatre history. For this revised edition the account is carried forward to the present. A reliable and detailed document, richly illustrated, of use to students of history and theatre alike. Full of the atmosphere of the living theatre, in many countries, in many ages. Contents in Twelve Chapters: The Greek and Roman Theatre, The Medieval Theatre, The Theatre of the Italian Renaissance, The Elizabethan Theatre, The Golden Age of Spain and France, The English Restoration Theatre, The Theatre in 18th Century Germany, France Before the Revolution, The Early 19th Century Theatre, The Later 19th Century Theatre, Ibsen Chekhov and the Theatre of Ideas, and The Modern Theatre.
