Representative Plays by American Dramatists: 1856-1911:: Introduction and Bibliography
Moses, Montrose Jonas
American drama -- Bibliography
A large bibliography of standard works on the American
Theatre was given in Volume I of the present collection. A
very few of the titles have been repeated here, with the additional
inclusion of books which will present the essential spirit of
modern American playwriting. Some of these works mentioned
contain further bibliographies, and these will enable the student
to go as far in the field as desired. There are still unblazed trails for
the research worker, but these trails are becoming fewer and
fewer, as interest in the study of American Drama as a social
and artistic force progresses.
