註釋

The general orientation of this book ideally suits it for use in theatre history surveys, as well as in literature courses at the undergraduate or graduate level that take a context-sensitive approach to drama. But at the same time, the book was designed with an eye to the needs of multi-genre English courses that approach literary texts thematically ... The anthology consists of six chronologically organised chapters ... Each chapter begins with a general introduction that sketches in the main currents of thought and literary practice, as well as the changing trends in theatre production, audience behaviour, and economic and political life that characterize the periods. Individual plays are then preceded by their own introduction which locates them more narrowly within the biography and literary output of their author, explains relevant details in their production history, and provides interpretive assistance in approaching them today.-Introd.
