Theorizing Practice by P Holland
In a series of essays, several of the most significant figures in the field present a wide-ranging interrogation of the practice of theatre history studies at the present time, raising questions of history and historiography; the bearing of national, sexual, and racial identity on the canons of theatre history; the limits of print and the history of non-textual forms of performance; the intersections between theatre and other forms of commodification; and even the work of performance at the borders of the human.
'This charming mosaic - each piece having been placed by a different hand - is still worthwhile reading, with some wonderful essays' - Leslie Barcza, Consciousness, Literature and the Arts
'There is much to offer in this volume and I would heartily recommend it to anyone working in theatre and performance history.' - New Theatre Quarterly
