Recensioner i media

David Krasner’s A History of Modern Drama, Volume II: 1960–2000 offers… a structural and technique-based approach to differentiating dramatic eras. In his sequel to A History of Modern Drama, Volume I, Krasner shifts focus from dividing drama by time periods (i.e., “modern” and “contemporary”) to categorizing dramatic eras according to their use of different formal techniques (i.e., “modern” and “postmodern”). This is an important distinction, as book-length studies on postmodern drama are few. Krasner’s Volume II makes this scholarly move feel like a logical step and a natural conclusion. This book will reinvigorate the study of postmodernism and drama. This is a worthy and important volume that should be read by anyone who teaches theatre history and/or modern and postmodern drama courses.- Michael Y. Bennett, Modern Drama
