This is the second volume in the series Sources of Dramatic Theory.

Among the writers represented by their own essays or substantial extracts from longer works are: Voltaire, Diderot, Goldoni, Dr Johnson, Lessing, Goethe, Schiller, Hegel, and Coleridge.Many of the texts have been newly translated for this volume and all have been newly annotated and introduced.Recurrent topics and allusions are traced by a system of cross-references.
