It brings together leading scholars spanning anthropology, art history, ethnomusicology, history, literature, and theater studies.How to Read Chinese Drama is straightforward, clear, and concise, written for undergraduate students and their instructors as well as a wider audience interested in world theater. For students of Chinese literature and language, the book provides questions to explore when reading, watching, and listening to plays, and it features bilingual excerpts. For teachers, an analytical table of contents, a theater-specific chronology of events, and lists of visual resources and translations provide pedagogical resources for exploring Chinese theater within broader cultural and comparative contexts. For theater practitioners, the volume offers deeply researched readings of important plays together with background on historical performance conventions, audience responses, and select modern adaptations.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 279mmItem Length: 216mmAuthor: Patricia Sieber, Regina Llamas, Steven Collins, Justin Mcdaniel, Dan Arnold, Charles HalliseyGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Poetry & Drama, Literary CriticismBook Series: How to Read Chinese LiteratureType: Communication StudiesRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
