Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the often fraught relationship between playwright and critic, explored through a lively collection of historical accounts and literary analysis. The author surveys the origins of drama criticism from Aristotle onward, examines how and why the role of the critic has evolved over the centuries, and explores the different ways in which critics and audiences perceive the same theatrical experiences. The author also considers the different types of drama, from melodrama to high tragedy, and how the genre can influence the critical response. The book concludes by exploring the enduring significance of drama criticism, which, the author argues, remains a vital component of theatrical culture, both in shaping public perception of plays and in influencing the playwrights themselves.
