摘要
摘要
Updating and expanding the original edition of 1985, this revised set contains a total of 263 articles: 240 on individual dramatists (including 29 updated articles on English-language dramatists from the 1987 Supplement to the Critical Survey of Drama), plus 23 comprehensive overview essays. One-third (77) of the essays on individual dramatists are fully revised, while 22 new playwright entries include both dramatists who were originally omitted and dramatists whose professional achievements now so far outstrip their work as of 1985 that completely new entries were required. The 23 revised overview essays examine dramatic genres, the origins and development of the genre (over time and across the English-speaking world), and subgenres such as musical, experimental, radio, and television drama. They also include an annotated bibliography of drama history and criticism, and a glossary entitled "Dramatic Terms and Movements." Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

This edition updates the six-volume edition of 1985 (CH, Jan'86). It provides informative and evaluative articles, arranged alphabetically by author, on British, American, and Commonwealth playwrights using a schematic format that includes such elements as primary bibliography, biography, major achievements, and analysis of plays. There are 240 articles on dramatists in this expanded edition, including 22 on newly emerged figures who were not in the original edition (e.g., Caryl Churchill and August Wilson). The articles on established authors are unchanged, except for slight revamping of the secondary bibliographies. Standard encyclopedias cover canonical figures, and this series adds little to the study of their works. The entries on authors known for their success in other genres also seem unnecessary, e.g., Henry James, who is barely a minor playwright. More useful are the entries on such lesser-known contemporaries as Ntozake Shange, Wallace Shawn, and Alber Innaurato; a major lacuna is the omission of George C. Wolfe, who wrote The Colored Museum (1988). There are no biographical facts on the contributors of the signed entries. The seventh volume includes 21 essays on such subjects as medieval drama, radio and television drama, acting styles, and musicals; a list of dramatic terms; and a general bibliography of recommended books. A good set for libraries that can afford to supplement less expensive, one-volume literary guides. R. R. Centing; Ohio State University

With the past decade rich in theatrical achievement, a revision of this 1985 standard is more than welcome. The Survey includes 240 critical articles on significant English-language dramatists, 22 of whom appear for the first time (e.g., Wendy Wasserstein). A third (77) of the essays have been revised to reflect the current status of the playwright, and brand-new 5000-word essays replace the originals for writers who have far surpassed their professional achievements of ten years ago (e.g., Tom Stoppard, David Mamet). Almost every notable dramatist can be found here, with few exceptions (e.g., Jules Feiffer, Langston Hughes), although monologists (e.g., Eric Bogosian) and certain "hot" playwrights (e.g., Tony Kushner) are excluded. All essays include updated, annotated bibliographies (the 1985 bibliographies are unannotated) and biographical data, as required. The set concludes with 23 excellent, comprehensive overview essays on such topics as television drama and staging and production, and there is also a glossary of dramatic terms and movements. Librarians will appreciate the breadth and compactness of this set, as compared with the well-written but scattered drama volumes of the Dictionary of Literary Biography (Gale, irregular) or the primarily biographical Contemporary Dramatists (St. James, 1993). Selectors working with tight budgets should give first consideration to this set, but they should be mindful that two-thirds of the author entries do not contain meaningful textual emendations and that the bibliographies overlap significantly between editions. Those caveats aside, most libraries will want to purchase this edition, if only for the new entries. Highly recommended for all public and academic libraries.-Anthony J. Adam, Prairie View A&M Univ.
