In the "General" drama section you will find the Bibliomania guide to the development of
drama since the mystery and morality plays of the Middle Ages in England. Sophocles
and other dramatists of the classical world are not included, but if you would
find a section on them useful, then please contact us. We have tried to provide a sufficiently
detailed history of the theatre but it is clearly a United Kingdom-oriented selection
nonetheless - as befits the dramatic works that we have on the site at Bibliomania
(these are available at all times from the navigation bar on the left of your screen).
Hopefully this guide will provide students of English Literature
and those with an interest in
drama with a basic understanding of the history of that
form. As with the fiction and poetry introductions, certain exclusions were
inevitable and are likely to prove controversial but the major writers from each period
are discussed and their relevance in the history of the theatre explained.
In the future we may not only expand and extend this guide, according to your feedback and suggestions (e-mail them to comments@bibliomania.com ) but also offer other helpful essays and articles here. For more detailed analysis of individual authors and texts, register (this is completely free) and go to the study guides in the Study section of Bibliomania. |
