Theatre, like other subjects in the humanities, has recently
undergone quintessential changes in theory, approach, and research.
"Modern Drama" - a collection of twelve essays from leading theatre
and drama scholars - investigates the contemporary meanings and the
cultural and political resonances of the terms inherent in the
concepts of 'modern' and 'drama, ' delving into a range of
theoretical questions on the history of modernism, modernity,
postmodernism, and postmodernity as they have intersected with the
shifting histories of drama, theatre, and performance. Using
incisive analyses of both modern and postmodern plays, the
contributors examine varied topics such as the analysis of
periodicity; the articulation of social, political, and cultural
production in theatre; the re-evaluation of texts, performances,
and canons; and demonstrations of how interdisciplinarity inflects
theatre and its practice.
Including work by Sue-Ellen Case, Elin Diamond, Harry J. Elam
Jr, Alan Filewod, Erika Fischer-Lichte, Stanton B. Garner Jr,
Shannon Jackson, Loren Kruger, Josephine Lee, David Savran, Michael
Sidnell, and Ann Wilson, the collection highlights the importance
of continuing to investigate not only critical texts but also the
terms of the debate themselves. Incorporating both drama history
and modern studies, this compilation will be an invaluable work to
all scholars of theatre and drama, and as well as those students of
the humanities and modernism.
