In this edition (previous, 1995) Brockett (U. of Texas-Austin) and Hildy (U. of Georgia) continue tracing the theater--primarily the European tradition, and secondarily that of Africa and Asia-- from its ancient origins to the present. Major revisions taking center stage include the chapters on developments in Europe and the US since World War II, and on English theater from the Middle Ages to 1642, taking into account new scholarship. A website is new. B&w illustrations and photos showcase the medium in each period. Includes a summary statement on historical study in the field. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
