Produktbeschreibung

Erika Fischer-Lichte's introduction to the discipline of Theatre Studies is a strikingly authoritative and wide-ranging guide to the study of theatre in all of its forms. Its three-part structure moves from the first steps in starting to think about performance, through to the diverse and interrelated concerns required of higher-level study.

Case studies throughout the book root its discussion of how to study theatre with specific examples.This is the most comprehensive and sophisticated introduction to the field available, written by one of its foremost scholars.

Rezensionen

"Rarely do books with "introduction" in the title exhibit the depth of synthesis that this one does. Fischer-Lichte's book, as edited and translated by Minou Arjomand and Romona Mosse, is stimulating in its approach, conversational tone, and ease of access to interesting points of view...This well-researched, cogent study will be a fine addition to any theatre and performance studies collection. Summing up: Recommended." - CHOICE, November 2014
