Theories of the Theatre: A Historical and Critical Survey, from the Greeks to the Present
A Cornell University Press survey that runs from Aristotle through semiotics and feminist theory. This expanded edition adds a chapter on developments since 1980. The paperback is dense, with small print and a no-nonsense cover that signals you are buying a reference, not a beach read. Marvin A. Carlson moves quickly, assumes intelligence, and covers the ground with the confidence of someone who has taught the material for decades. Ideal reader: the theatre student who wants one volume to argue with from Aristotle to Derrida, or the playwright who needs to know which theory they are ignoring.
