AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This collection of essays explores some of the avenues along which the field of comparative drama studies could be reconfigured at the
dawn of the twenty-first century. It offers a comparative analysis of theatre across national and linguistic boundaries while simultaneously
acknowledging newer trends in ethnic studies. Indeed, the contributors to this critical anthology productively combine traditional comparative
literature methodologies with performance approaches and postcolonial perspectives. In this way, they shed new light on the intertextual,
multi-ethnic, and cross-cultural dialogues linking theatrical traditions from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific region. This
book's broad scope bears testimony to the fact that transnational studies can fruitfully illuminate the multiple dramatic voices of our increasingly
globalized age' (Publisher blurb).
