Modern Drama: A Selective Bibliography of Works Published in English in 1960 and 1961

MODERN DRAMA: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH IN 1960 AND 1961 IN GENERAL, the same arbitrary rules improvised for the first of these "annual" bibliographies (see MODERN DRAMA, September, 1960) have been followed again here. Journalism is again ranked below scholarly articles in total emphasis throughout; the ephemera of current productions, either as publicized or as reviewed , are almost entirely avoided here. Similarly, drama and dramatic theory have been favored at the expense of the theater and strictly theatrical concerns. One apology should be extended here: because of the press of other commitments , it was impossible to prepare a separate bibliography for materials published in 1960. This present two-year bibliography has been perhaps more "selective" than circumstances warrant in all cases, but no item of undoubted significance has been abandoned. Beginning again in 1963, the annual bibliography will be properly annual in its coverage of a single year. The following abbreviations have been used for those publications figuring most prominently in the entries: DS ETJ JEGP MD MLJ MLQ MLR PMLA QJS SHAV ShR TA TDR Drama Survey Educational Theatre Journal Journal of English and Germanic Philology Modem Drama Modem Language Journal Modern Language Quarterly Modem Language Review Publications of the Modem Language Association of America Quarterly Journal of Speech The Shavian Shaw Review Theatre Arts Tulane Drama Review GENERAL ADLER, HENRY, "To Hell with Society," TDR, IV, iv (1960), 53-76.
