Dramatic character is among the most long-standing and familiar of
artistic phenomena. From the theatre of Dionysus in ancient Greece
to the modern stage, William Storm's book delivers a wide-ranging
view of how characters have been conceived at pivotal moments in
history. Storm reaffirms dramatic character as not only ancestrally
prominent but as a continuing focus of interest. He looks closely
at how stage figures compare to fictional characters in books,
dramatic media, and other visual arts. Emphasis is sustained
throughout on fundamental questions of how theatrical
characterization relates to dramatic structure, style, and genre.
Extensive attention is given to how characters think and to aspects
of agency, selfhood, and consciousness. As the only book to offer a
long view of theatrical characterization across this historical
span, Storm's dramaturgical and theoretical investigation examines
topics that remain vital and pertinent for practitioners, scholars,
students of theatre and literature, and general audiences.
