Dramaturgy: A Revolution in Theatre is a substantial history of the
origins of dramaturgs and literary managers. It frames the
explosion of professional appointments in England within a wider
continental map reaching back to the Enlightenment and
eighteenth-century Germany, examining the work of the major
theorists and practitioners of dramaturgy, from Granville Barker
and Gotthold Lessing to Brecht and Tynan. This study positions
Brecht's model of dramaturgy as central to the worldwide revolution
in theatre-making practices, and it also makes a substantial
argument for Granville Barker's and Tynan's contributions to the
development of literary management. With the territories of play
and performance-making being increasingly hotly contested, and the
public's appetite for new plays showing no sign of diminishing,
Mary Luckhurst investigates the dramaturg as a cultural and
political phenomenon.
