add to cart   close window

This article traces fifty years of English drama from the early Victorian period to the present time. The author of the article emphasizes on the intrinsic historical importance of the drama and direct influence on theatrical conditions of today. In "The Contemporary Drama of England," a volume of the Contemporary Drama Series, Professor Thomas H. Dickinson has given a singularly clear and comprehensive analysis of actual theatrical conditions. According to Dickinson the influence of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen on drama was indirect rather than direct.
