- A broad selection of plays and commentaries in a concise anthology. The 26 chronologically arranged plays (eight new) represent every major period from the classical age to the present, offering a strong selection of plays by women and American minority playwrights, several comedies, and four choice contemporary plays. In addition, 51 commentaries (17 new) give students a richer understanding of the plays and the contexts from which they emerge. - In-depth treatment of Sophocles and Shakespeare and a unique Cultural Casebook. Two plays each by Sophocles and Shakespeare offer students an opportunity to study and write in depth about these major figures. New to this edition, a Cultural Casebook on "The Issue of Race and Othello" provides students with the cultural context they need to think critically about the play. - A full complement of useful editorial features from the longer book. These features include historical introductions; performance histories; timelines; a section on writing about drama; a glossary of dramatic terms; selected bibliographies; an annotated list of film, video, and audiocassette resources; and a Companion Book site with study and discussion questions and writing suggestions.
