The new fourth edition of The Critical Survey of Drama contains
over 650 new and updated essays-over 550 discuss individual
dramatists and nearly 100 cover important overview topics that are
critical to the study of drama as a whole. This new edition is
newly arranged by World Region and essay type to further enhance
its ability to help students and researchers expand their study of
dramatists around the globe. This edition includes new coverage of
contemporary playwrights who have recently come to be regarded as
established figures in the theater-Jez Butterworth, Martin
McDonough, Patrick Marber, Marshall Napier, Mark Ravenhill and N.F.
Simpson-to name a few. In addition to the entirely new author
profiles, many have been updated and revised to include the
authors' new works and achievements, new productions, publications,
honors and awards, as well as personal developments. Bibliographies
have also been updated and annotated. In addition, these updated
essays provide analyses of significant new works. Each dramatist
essay provides such ready-reference material as birth and death
dates, and a list of the author's major dramatic works (with dates
of first production and publication). Each essay opens with a brief
survey of the author's publications in literary forms other than
drama, a summary of the writer's professional achievements and
awards, an extended biographical sketch that centers on the
writer's development as a dramatist, and an extensive critical
analysis of the writer's major dramatic works. Following this
discussion is an annotated bibliography of critical works about the
author. Overview essays, which are arranged under broad subject
headings in Volume 8, cover dramatic traditions in the United
States, the British Isles, Europe, Africa, Asia, and other parts of
the world, as well as various genres and techniques. The nearly 100
Overview Essays provide thoughtful insight into the study of
African American Drama, American Regional Theater, Asian Drama,
Australian Drama, Chinese Drama, Deaf Theater, Experimental
Theater, Feminist Theater, French Drama Since the 1600's, Irish
Drama, LGBTQ Theater, Melodrama, Musical Drama, Native American
Drama, Political Theater, Southeast Asian Drama and much more. The
set also contains a listing of major dramatic awards, a time line
of drama history, a glossary, and bibliography. Five helpful
features can be found at the end of each volume: a Glossary; a
Category List that groups authors by genre, country, gender, and
ethnic identity; an Author Index that lists all authors covered in
the set along with their works; a Title Index of all works covered
in the set; and a Geographical List which groups the authors by
country.
