Recensioner i media

A highly usable resource for text analysis and addressing plays. However, it is so much more than this and I suggest that it be considered as a seminal textbook ... As well as the detailed attention to play extracts and the highly useable frameworks within which to address the scripted play, this seminal text skilfully locates the understanding of the dramatic script within socio-political historical contexts ... A trusted text given a welcome spruce up.
