Description

Theatre of the Book by Oxford University Press explores the deep connection between print and theatre in Europe from the Renaissance through the late nineteenth century. This historical account examines European dramatic publication, offering a comparative perspective to the field of textual studies. The book investigates how the modern notion of text and performance was created and provides a comparative genealogy of ideas regarding theatrical and textual reception.
