The Continental Drama Of To Day PDF Download

Excerpt from The Continental Drama of to-Day: Outlines for Its Study, Suggestions, Questions, Biographies A growing demand on the part of clubs, reading circles, schools, colleges, and universities for definite and systematic guidance in the study of the modern movement in drama has led me to compile this Outline, in which are included plays of representative authors, from Ibsen to the present day. Most of these plays have distinctive features of technique or characterization or theme, so that when the student has completed a study of the plays in connection with the Outline, he should have a very definite knowledge of the essentials of dramatic technique in general, and the modern movement in particular. The comment that precedes each play is intended to give the reader a few suggestions as to the nature of the work, its importance, and to furnish him with a method of attack; supplementary to this comment are suggestions and questions intended to stimulate thought, discussion, and a careful reading of the play.
