Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, ix + 372 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear only, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Price blacked out on rear cover. -- Several of the essays written in Bernhard Reitz's honour on the occasion of his 60…th birthday consider the representation(s) of history in drama, others theorize on the past as the present or on history as a retro-scenario while still others look at the fictionalization of Shakespeare today. The range of perspectives on history and drama is astounding, with essays ranging from France on the English stage to Black American drama, from Sophocles' dramatic discourse to contemporary political drama, from historical pantomime to modern Scottish plays, from Strindberg to Contemporary British or American Theatre. This volume is not only focused on history and drama but also makes one important drama - W.E.B. Du Bois' Pageant The Star of Ethiopia - readily available for the first time. What makes this publication even more special is the number of original contributions from highly acclaimed British authors and playwrights. Howard Barker's 'Twelve Propositions Already in Decay' and Michelene Wandor's 'History/Herstory' were especially written for History and Drama, while Julia Pascal's 'The London Patriots' is published here for the first time - in honour of Bernhard Reitz. -- Contents: 1.
