The Theatre Theory Reader provides the first comprehensive and
critical anthology of texts reflecting on the development of the
theater theory of the Prague School or Prague Linguistic Circle
beginning with early twentieth-century composer and aesthetician
Otakar Zich. The majority of the thirty-eight texts date from the
1930s and early 1940s, the period when the Prague Linguistic Circle
was most active as both a theoretical laboratory and a focal point
for scholars, artists, and intellectuals. A substantial afterword
places these writings in context, describing the emergence of the
Prague School in an effort to promote a deeper understanding of its
texts. Organized thematically and structurally rather than
chronologically, the Theatre Theory Reader explores issues and
themes in the study of the theater as an art form and as artistic
practice. Just as the Prague School theorists viewed theory as a
toolbox of approaches to theater analysis, this anthology should be
considered a toolbox of analytic possibilities.
