Review:

Praise for Theatre History Studies

“This established annual is a major contribution to the scholarly analysis and historical documentation of international drama. Refereed, immaculately printed and illustrated. . . . The subject coverage ranges from the London season of 1883 to the influence of David Belasco on Eugene O’Neill.”
—CHOICE

“International in scope but with an emphasis on American, British, and Continental theater, this fine academic journal includes seven to nine scholarly articles dealing with everything from Filipino theater during the Japanese occupation to numerous articles on Shakespearean production to American children’s theater. . . . An excellent addition for academic, university, and large public libraries.”
