Raktažodžiai:
The first comprehensive overview of theatre in culture and culture in theatre throughout history.

A Cultural History of Theatre presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes covers a span of 2,500 years, tracing the complexity of the interactions between theatre and culture.

1. A Cultural History of Theatre in Antiquity (500 BCE-1000CE)
2. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Middle Ages (1000-1400)
3. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Early Modern Age (1400-1650)
4. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Enlightenment (1650-1800)
5. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Empire (1800-1920)
6. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Modern Age (1920-2000+)

Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters:

1. Institutional Frameworks
2. Social Functions
3. Sexuality and Gender
4. The Environment of Theatre
5. Circulation
6. Interpretations
7. Communities of Production
8. Repertoire and Genres
9. Technologies of Performance
10. Knowledge Transmission: Media and Memory

This structure offers readers a broad overview of a period within each volume or the opportunity to follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter across volumes.
Generously illustrated, the full six-volume set combines to present the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on theatre in history.

Recenzijos

Not since the Cambridge History of American Theatre (19982000) has a multiauthored theatre history been as anticipated as Bloomsburys A Cultural History of Theatre Having read all six volumes (1,636 pages), I can testify to the magnitude of their accomplishment. A Cultural History of Theatre is a profound reconsideration of how we understand theatre, its myriad social contexts, and the cultural work it accomplishes the product of intellectual labor and creativity, and its accomplishments are many. A landmark work in theatre and social history, it illuminates theatre through the lens of culture, and culture through the lens of theatre. * Theatre Survey * All six volumes are aesthetically attractive, with well-chosen cover illustrations in color and numerous halftones throughout. Page layouts with wide margins, good paper, subtitles, generous bibliographies, notes, and index all add to the appeal. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers. * CHOICE *
