Mystery Drama from Ancient to Modern Times

Mystery Drama from Ancient to Modern Times 40 pages, paperback $6.00 In all ages the task of drama was to bring about catharsis: the purification and freeing of the soul through experiences of compassion and fear.

This little book focuses on stages of this journey, and includes scenes from Steffen’s plays and essays on Sophocles; The Iphigenia of Euripides and Goethe; Dante’s Style; Shakespeare’s Way to Germany; The Way Forward in Dramatic Art; Signpost to a New Mystery-Drama; and From a Notebook.
