Notable Playwrights by Carl E. Rollyson
Notable Playwrights contains biographical sketches and critical studies
of 106 of the most important and best-known dramatists from antiquity
to the present day. Essays in this volume are taken from the recently
published Critical Survey of Drama, Revised Edition (2003), which
combined all the earlier Critical Survey of Drama editions and added 79
new essays on individual playwrights. In selecting articles for Notable
Playwrights, the editors have taken special care to include the
dramatists whose plays are most often studied in high school and
undergraduate literature and drama courses. Publication of this set completes Salem Press's
adaptation of all its Critical Survey sets in the Magill's Choice line
of books.
