Dramaturgy: A Revolution in Theatre is a substantial history of the origins of dramaturgs and literary managers. It frames the explosion of professional appointments in England within a wider continental map reaching back to the Enlightenment and eighteenth-century Germany; examining the work of the major theorists and practitioners of dramaturgy; from Granville Barker and Gotthold Lessing to Brecht and Tynan. This study positions Brechts model of dramaturgy as central to the worldwide revolution in theatre-making practices; and it also makes a substantial argument for Granville Barkers and Tynans contributions to the development of literary management. With the territories of play and performance-making being increasingly hotly contested; and the publics appetite for new plays showing no sign of diminishing; Mary Luckhurst investigates the dramaturg as a cultural and political phenomenon.
