a good textbook for Russian Drama class

[Inna Caron]

Dear Anastasia,

There is a Cambridge University volume A History of Russian Theatre:
period-wise, it is most comprehensive, but the content is more
performance-oriented. If you are looking for the history and the analysis of
the dramatic texts, I can't think of a single volume that would cover every
time period. Would you consider pulling chapters from a number of sources
and ordering a course packet tailored to your specific syllabus? If so,
Karlinsky's Russian Drama from Its Beginnings to the Age of Pushkin and
Senelick's Russian Dramatic Theory from Pushkin to the Symbolists may
provide valuable material. There is a number of books on the 20th-century
Russian drama, and a volume on Russian drama of the Revolutionary Period by
Robert Russell, so together I think they will make for an encompassing
compilation.
