The most comprehensive and distinctive collection of its kind.

The Norton Anthology of Drama offers sixty-five major plays―including three twentieth-century plays not available in any other drama anthology―the most carefully prepared introductions, annotations, and play texts, and a convenient two-volume, one-column format for ease of reading and carrying. Less expensive than rival anthologies, The Norton Anthology of Drama is also the best value―a book that students will keep long after the class is over.
