The Drama Of Transition: Native And Exotic Playcraft

By Isaac Goldberg

Book Overview

The Drama of Transition: Native and Exotic Playcraft is a book written by Isaac Goldberg that explores the evolution of drama and theatrical performance from traditional, native forms to more modern, exotic styles. The book delves into the cultural and historical contexts that shaped these changes, examining the ways in which colonialism, globalization, and other factors influenced the development of theatrical traditions around the world.Goldberg draws on a wide range of examples from different cultures and time periods, including the ancient Greek theater, Japanese Noh drama, African and Native American performance, and modern European and American theater. He analyzes the stylistic and thematic differences between these various forms of drama, as well as the ways in which they have influenced each other over time.Throughout the book, Goldberg argues that the evolution of drama is a reflection of broader social and cultural changes, and that the study of theatrical performance can provide insights into the history and development of human societies. The Drama of Transition is a comprehensive and thought-provoking work that will appeal to anyone interested in theater, cultural studies, or the history of human civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
