Description
Summary:The Routledge Anthology of Women's Theatre Theory and Dramatic Criticism is the first wide-ranging anthology of theatre theory and dramatic criticism by women writers. Reproducing key primary documents contextualized by short essays, the collection situates women's writing within and also reframes the field's male-defined and male-dominated traditions. Its collection of documents demonstrates women's consistent and wide-ranging engagement with writing about theater and performance and offers a more expansive understanding of the forms and locations of such theoretical and critical writing, dealing with performances that often lay outside established publication venues. This alternative tradition of theater writing that emerges allow contemporary readers to form new ways of conceptualizing the field, bringing to the fore a long-neglected, vibrant, intelligent, deeply informed and expanded canon that generates a new era of scholarship, learning and artistry.
