Interpreting Events

by Paul Hernadi

Since World War I, Paul Hernadi says, a new kind of historical drama has emerged--one in which history is conspicuously ficitonalized. In this book, Hernadi looks closely at developments in the genre of historical drama since 1920, showing how some of the most successful plays of the twentieth century have underscored the parallels between storytelling and the telling of history.
