Its insights resonate across various disciplines, including literary studies, drama, theatre, and performance history and studies. Throughout history, theatre has been governed by three distinct strains of critical poiesis: the literary, which segregates theatre from the humanizing work attributed to books and the internalization of reading; the dramatic, which approves theatrical performance only to the extent that it instrumentalizes literary value; and the theatrical, which assimilates performance to the conjunction of literary and liberal values. These values have not only shaped the work of theatre but also defined the propriety of the audience as a figure for its socializing work. This book explores a rich tapestry of ideas, examining how humanism has influenced the development of theatre and its role in shaping societal norms and values. It sheds light on the complex interplay between aesthetics, politics, and the human experience, offering a nuanced understanding of the profound impact of theatre on culture and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Aristotle onward, theatre has been regulated by three strains of critical poiesis: the literary, which segregates theatre from the humanizing work attributed to books and the internalization of reading; the dramatic, which approves theatrical performance only to the extent that it instrumentalizes literary value; and the theatrical, which assimilates performance to the conjunction of literary and liberal values.
