like new green and white hardcover with printed covers. CHERLIN, MICHAEL, ed. . The great tradition and its legacy: the evolution of dramatic and musical theater in Austria and Central Europe. Edited by Michael Cherlin, Halina Filipowicz, and Richard L. Rudolph. New York: Berghahn Books, 2003, xiii, 274pp., . Austrian history, culture, and society ; v. 4 - "Both dramatic and musical theater are part of the tradition that has made Austria - especially Vienna - and the old Habsburg lands synonymous with high culture in Central Europe. Many works, often controversial originally but now considered as classics, are still performed regularly in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, or Krakow., This volume not only offers an overview of the theatrical history of the region, it is also a cross-disciplinary attempt to analyse the inner workings and dynamics of theater through a discussion of the interplay between society, the audience, and performing artists." - CONTENTS: Preface - Richard L.
