Modern Drama: A Selective Bibliography of Works Published in English in 1965

MODERN DRAMA A Selective Bibliography of Works Published in English in 1965 GENERALIZATIONS ABOUT THE MAJOR EMPHASES in drama publications during 1965 are singularly tentative. The Yeats centenary yielded an impressive harvest of articles-marked, however, by a predictably heavy emphasis on the non-dramatic works. Shaw continues to dominate such bibliographies as this: the appearance of the first volume of Shaw letters and the reprinting (and updating) of the Complete Plays and Prefaces combine to make 1965 an important year in Shavian research. Among the periodicals, the British Theatre World disappeared as a separate publication. Beginning with the January, 1966, issue, it became part of Plays and Players. World Theatre has been given a new format but, mysteriously, has not appeared since the July-August issue. Tulane Drama Review has followed its new policy with special issues on practical concerns in the contemporary theater ("Dollars and Drama" and "Happenings," among others). Year of publication is indicated only for the few articles and books omitted from the Modern Drama bibliography for 1963-64.
