The Methuen Drama Handbook of Theatre History and Historiography
offers an authoritative guide to contemporary debates and practices
in this field. The book covers current key themes and methods in
theatre history research, and expands the object of study to
include engagement with theatre and performance practices and the
development of theatre histories around the world. Central to the
book are 16 specially commissioned essays by established and
emerging scholars from a wide range of international contexts,
whose discussion of individual case studies is predicated on their
understanding and experience of their 'local' landscape of theatre
history. These essays reveal where important work continues to be
done in the field and, most valuably, draw on academic contexts
beyond the Western academy to expand our knowledge of the exciting
directions that such an approach opens up. Prefaced by an
introduction tracing the development of the discipline of theatre
history and changing historiographical approaches, the handbook
explores current issues pertaining to theatre and performance
history research, and provides up to date and robust introductions
to the methods and historiographic questions being explored by
researchers in the field. Featuring a series of essential research
tools, including a detailed list of resources and an annotated
bibliography of key texts, this is an indispensable scholarly
handbook for anyone working in theatre and performance history and
historiography.
