Manfred Pfister's book is the first to provide a coherent and
comprehensive framework for the analysis of plays in all their
dramatic and theatrical dimensions. The materical on which his
analysis is based covers all genres and periods of drama, from
Greek tragedy and comedy to the contemporary theatre, with the
plays of Shakespeare providing a special focus. His approach is not
historical but systematic, combining more abstract categorisations
with detailed and concrete interpretations of specific sample
texts. An extensive international bibliography of relevant theatre
and drama studies further enhances the practical value of the book.
