DESCRIPTION
Drama is an ancient version of performing art. In general sense, the term 'Drama' refers to any work which is meant to be performed on a stage by actors. A more particular meaning is a serious play; not necessarily tragedy. Drama is an ancient and popular literary genre, while a play refers to a dramatic work which is designed to be presented on a stage [or in a television studio] and performed by actors and actresses [i.e. dramatis personae]. The present work, in four volumes, contains vital information on all the great dramatists. All leading dramatists/playwrights, representing past and present, from the world over find place in this monumental work. Alphabetically arranged by name, their biographical sketch theories propounded, works authored, critique and other significant achievements are explained elaborately. Definitely, this work will benefit students, researchers and teachers of literature besides the performing artistes.
