Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Preface to Drama: An Introduction to Dramatic Literature and Theater Art

To these two parts is added an Appendix containing a variety of supplementary materials: notes for the essays and introductions, queries to stimulate closer reading or discussion, specially devised outline-worksheets to guide disciplined analysis, and suggestions for study and further reading.

In a variety of ways, Preface to Drama will serve both those who approach the Drama as one of the major types of Literature and those who approach it as the enduring expression of the Theater. It will serve as an introduction to the drama - whether as a course in English, Speech and Drama, or the Humanities.

To acknowledge indebtedness can be a pleasure as well as a duty. Helpful indeed have been the critical suggestions made by those persons who have read the manuscript in whole or in part: Dr. Ray Nichols and Mr. George Stoughton, Dr. And Mrs. Arthur C. Berdahl, Dr. James Marshall and Dr. Benjamin G. Whitten, my wife Edris B. Cooper, and the students in my courses who gave me the benefit of their frank comments.

Upon my continuing debt to Dr. I. A. Richards and Dr. Albert W. Upton - too great for payment in full - I make another installment of gratitude.
