The drama of the Eastern nations is generally treated in:--A. P. Brozzi, _Teatri e spettacoli dei popoli orientali Ebrei, Arabi, Persani, Indiani, Cinesi, Giapponesi e Giavanesi_ (Milan, 1887); Comte J. A. de Gobineau, _Les Religions et les philosophies dans l'Asie centrale_ (2nd ed., Paris, 1866). The following works deal with the Indian drama:--M. Schuyler, _Bibliography of the Sanskrit Drama_ (Columbia Univ., Indo-Iranian, ser. iii., New York, 1906); H. H. Wilson, _Select Specimens of the Theatre of the Hindus_, transl. from the original Sanskrit (with introduction on the dramatic system of the Hindus), 3rd ed., 2 vols. (London, 1871); S. Levi, _Le Théâtre indien_ (supplements Wilson) (Paris, 1891). For Chinese:--Tscheng-Ki-Tong, _Le Théâtre des Chinois_ (Paris, 1886); see also H. A. Giles, _History of Chinese Literature_ (London, 1901). For Japanese:--C. Florenz, _Gesch. d. japan. Litteratur_, vol. i. 1 (Leipzig, 1905); see also F. Brinkley, _Japan, its History, Arts and Literature_, vol. iii. (Boston and Tokyo, 1901). For Persian:--A. Chodzko, _Théâtre persan. Choix de téaziés ou drames, traduits pour la première fois du persan par A. Chodzko_ (Paris, 1878); E. Montet, _Le Théâtre en Perse_ (Geneva, 1888); Sir L. Pelly, _The Miracle Play of Hasan and Husain, collected from oral tradition; revised with explanatory notes by A. N. Wollaston_ (2 vols., London, 1879). Of works treating of the ancient Greek and Roman drama only a small selection can be given here. In the case of the Greek drama, the chief histories of literature--such as G. Bernhardy's, K. O. Muller's (Eng. tr. by Sir G. C. Lewis, with continuation by J. W. Donaldson) and G. Murray's--and general histories--such as Grote's, Thirlwall's, Curtius's, &c.--should also be consulted; and for the administration and finance of the Attic theatre, Boeckh's _Public Economy of Athens_, Eng. tr. (London, 1842). Much useful information will be found in _A Companion to Greek Studies_, ed. by L. Whibley (Cambridge, 1905). The standard collective edition of the ancient Greek dramatic poets is the _Poetae scenici Graeci_, ed. C. W. Dindorf (5th ed., Leipzig, 1869), and that of the Comic poets A. Meineke's _Historia critica comicorum Graecorum. Cum fragmentis_ (5 vols., Berlin, 1839-1857). Aristotle's _Poetics_, cited above, will of course be consulted for the theory of the Greek drama in particular; and much valuable critical matter will be found in passages of Bentley's _Phalaris_ (1699), which are reprinted in Donaldson's _Theatre of the Greeks_. The following later works, some of which treat of the ancient classical drama in general, may be noted:--E. A. Chaignet, _La Tragédie grecque_ (Paris, 1877); J. Denys, _Histoire de la comédie grecque_ (2 vols., Paris, 1886); J. W. Donaldson, _The Theatre of the Greeks_ (7th ed., London, 1860); Du Méril, _Histoire de la comédie.
