Description
This is a collection of new essays by leading Western specialists on Russian drama and theatre during the first three decades of this century. At this time Russian directors and dramatists were at the forefront of world theatrical experiments, and many of the problems which they faced have since taken on wider significance throughout the world of theatre. The collection is edited by two lecturers in Russian, both of whom have previously published books on Soviet literature.
