Omschrijving
The Oxford Encyclopedia of Theatre and Performance provides comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date information about all aspects of the history and practice of theatre and performance - including dance, opera, radio, film, television, and popular performance, such as carnivals, circus, and public executions. It is also available as an e-reference text from Oxford's Digital Reference Shelf.
Global in scope, authoritative in detail, and generous in coverage,The Oxford Encyclopedia of Theatre and Performance will be the standard work of reference in the field for decades to come. Coordinating the efforts of an international team of advisory editors and over three-hundred specialist contributors, Dennis Kennedy has gathered together in two volumes thousands of reasons why the many varieties of theatrical performance have long been so important to the world and why, now more than ever, they ought to remain so.
This book is uniquely comprehensive and, to anyone at all interested in theatre, pretty well indispensable. What's more it's highly readable.
Will set the standard for decades ... the great strength of this work is its global nature.
Dennis Kennedy is Samuel Beckett Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies, and head of the School of Drama, at Trinity College, Dublin. Previously he was Professor of Theatre Arts at the University of Pittsburgh and Associate Professor of English at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. He has held distinguished visiting professorships at the Salzburg Seminar, McMaster University, the University of Victoria, and the University of Wisconsin, and was Senior Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Karachi in Pakistan. His publications include Granville Barker and the Dream of Theatre (CUP, 1985), Plays by Harley Granville Barker (CUP, 1987), Looking at Shakespeae: a visual history of twentieth-century performance (CUP, 1993, 2nd edn 2001), Foreign Shakespeare (CUP, 1993). His own plays have been performed in New York, London and at regional theatres in the US.
