This handbook offers a systematic historical presentation of drama from the perspectives of literary and theater studies. In addition to discussing dramatists, institutions, and contexts (politics, economy, psychology, etc.), it covers post-dramatic and non-European forms of drama (in Japan, China, Africa, South America, and India). It also presents drama's transdisciplinary connections to film, TV series, new media, musical theater, and dance.
