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.
