Description
Explore a comprehensive reconstruction of European drama through this major study by Routledge. This text traces the evolution of theatre from ancient Greek tragedy to twentieth-century performances, focusing on how drama represents identity. It examines how stage works reflect political, religious, national, ethnic, class-related, gendered, and individual concepts throughout history. Readers will examine key eras and figures, including Shakespeare and Elizabethan theatre, the works of Corneilli, Racine, and Moliere, and the Italian commedia dell'arte. The study also covers the transformations of eighteenth-century drama and the German Enlightenment, featuring the contributions of Lessing, Schiller, Goethe, and Lenz. This book serves as a detailed resource for understanding the deep connections between theatrical history and the construction of identity.
