Category: E-Books → Drama for Students, Volume 28

Each volume of Drama for Students features coverage of 14 to 15 plays most frequently studied in literature classes.
Each detailed entry includes an introduction that provides an overview of the play; a brief biography of the playwright; a plot summary; a discussion of the plays principal themes; understandable essays on the plays construction (setting, dialogue, imagery); excerpted critical commentary; historical and cultural context sections that illuminate the plays role in inter curricular studies, and much more. Each volume (beginning with vol. 27) includes two Literature to Film entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays/novels not only diversify the study of plays/novels but support alternate learning styles, media literacy, and film studies curricula as well.

Here are some of the plays that students will find in volume 28:

Andromache by Jean Racine
Doubt (Film entry) by John Patrick Shanley
Family Reunion by T.S. Eliot
Having Our Say: The Delany Sister's First 100 Years by Emily Mann
Once Upon a Mattress by Mary Rodgers
Tom Thumb by Henry Fielding
