The edges are lightly worn and there is a previous owner's blind stamp on the title page. "In this book, I have attempted to trace the development of the theatre from primitive times until 1967, when I completed the manuscript. I have placed major emphasis upon the theatre in Europe, where it has been cultivated most assiduously, and in America as an extension of the European tradition... While history aims at recreating the past, it is seldom a purely factual study. The evidence, whether slight or copious, must always be interpreted" - from the preface. Locale: ; ; Italy; Rome; United States. (Drama, Drama, Literary Criticism, Theater).
