Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-06 00:00:00 Donald Walley This was hugely insightful; it gave particular focus to Ancient Greek tradition, but also to the French suppression of religious drama c.1545, which linked in well with Elizabethan theatre. However, the section on Elizabethan drama relegated Dr. Faustus merely to the 'last of England's overtly religious plays'; what about the massive anti-Calvinist subtext? Illustrations were good, albeit in black and white. Overall, it did provide a comprehensive history of world theatre; I'd recommend it for a decent in-depth overview.
