(Applause Books). Covering the full scope of Western drama, from
the ancient Greeks to the 20th century, these two volumes of
Classical Monologues for Women contain 136 monologues from sources
other than Shakespeare's plays. With the publication of the women's
volumes, the series now presents the monologues chronologically
rather than dividing them up into younger and older roles. When the
men's volumes are reprinted, they will be revised in a similar way.
Volume 3 covers the Ancient Greeks (starting in 68 B.C.) through
the 1670s. Monologues from the full scope of Western drama are
included: Greek, Roman, Italian Renaissance, Elizabethan, Jacobean,
Restoration, Spanish, French, German, and 18th- and 19th century
English. Playwrights featured include Sophocles, Christopher
Marlowe, Corneille, the Marquis de Sade, Oscar Wilde, Cervantes and
Moliere. Each monologue features a detailed introduction from
editor Leon Katz, providing an informative and critical context for
theatre professionals and general readers alike. The excerpts are
also fully footnoted for unfamiliar references. Volume Four
contains all pertinent bibliographical information for the sources
from which the monologues have been drawn. Simply put, these
volumes and their companion volumes, containing monologues for men
are a must for actors, directors, teachers and students of
classical theatre. Also available: Classical Monologues: Vol. 1
Younger Men (00314548) Classical Monologues: Vol. 2 Older Men
