Opis

William Storm delivers a wide-ranging investigation of character in drama from ancient beginnings to the present day.

Recenzje

'Storm moves from ancient Athens to contemporary London and North America, paying close attention to big conceptual sea changes from Renaissance to Neoclassical and from Modernist to Postmoderist … There is a great deal of research on display here, presented in erudite but generally accessible prose.' Sally Barnden, The Times Literary Supplement
