REVIEWER QUOTES
"Most people involved with teaching theatre history know that this text is unequaled in the field. No other survey text gives this kind of detail, is revised as often to keep pace with research and historical developments, is as qualified or clear in what the state of knowledge and debate are on particular topics, covers as many areas of world theatre, has as thorough an index, is as rich in images, or has as useful a bibliography."
-Dennis C. Beck, James Madison University
"Since I was a college undergraduate, the Brockett history book has been a 'must do' on my bookshelf and the bookshelves of all of my theatre peers and professors alike. The Brockett book is affectionately referred to as 'The Bible' among my colleagues. There is no question it is a remarkable compilation of information and an invaluable addition to my resources."
-Kimberly Wagner, Edinboro University
