Informative and economically written, this book is a useful tool
for theatre and literary practitioners.
"American Theater"
This guide to the state of research on forty major American
playwrights and the history of their productions is among the first
of its kind. It is actually many books: a bibliography, a stage
history, an assessment of scholarly works about each playwright,
and an invaluable guide to the types of research
studies--biographical, bibliographical and critical--that remain to
be done on each playwright. The essays were written by leading
experts in American drama and theatre and focus on playwrights
whose works have in some way shaped and influenced the American
stage. Each essay follows a standard format and provides
information on the playwright's reputation and achievements;
primary bibliography; production history of where, when, how often,
and how well his or her works were performed; a rigorous
identification and evaluation of secondary materials on
bibliographies, biographies, influence studies, general works, and
analyses of plays, and, most significantly, a detailed analysis of
future research opportunities.
