The Theory and Analysis of Drama

Zusammenfassung Manfred Pfister's book is the first to provide a coherent comprehensive framework for the analysis of plays in all their dramatic and theatrical dimensions. The material on which his analysis is based covers all genres and periods. His approach is systematic rather than historical! combining more abstract categorisations with detailed interpretations of sample texts.
