The Periodicity of World Theatre History. 330 $aThe future of theatre history studies requires consideration of theatre as a global phenomenon. The Challenge of World Theatre History offers the first full-scale argument for abandoning an obsolete and parochial Eurocentric approach to theatre history in favor of a more global perspective. This book exposes the fallacies that reinforce the conventional approach and defends the global perspective against possible objections. It moves beyond the conventional nation-based geography of theatre in favor of a regional geography and develops a new way to demarcate the periods of theatre history. Finally, the book outlines a history that recognizes the often-connected developments in theatre across Eurasia and around the world. It makes the case that world theatre history is necessary not only for itself, but for the powerful comparative and contextual insights it offers to all theatre scholars and students, whatever their special areas of interest. 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aGlobal and International Theatre and Performance 606 $aTheatre History 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 14$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aGlobal and International Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aTheatre History. 676 $a792.09 676 $a301 700 $aTillis$b Steve$0971625 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483722703321 996 $aThe challenge of world theatre history$92208979 997 $aUNINA
