These ten original essays on English drama from Tudor times onwards were first published in 1977. Each is written by a former member of the Cambridge English Faculty. Each author has an individual approach and makes a fresh contribution to the study of dramatic form seen in a changing historical setting. There are essays on genres, on individual playwrights and on social conditions affecting the development of the drama. Together, the essays make a valuable contribution to the study of drama.
