Clark, Barrett Harper, editor, European Theories of the Drama, with a Supplement on the American Drama, New York 1947. The book was first published in 1918, and revised in a number of editions, the following decades, also after the death of Clark (1890-1953) by Henry Popkin in 1965. The most recent edition is from 1983. The book is an anthology, introducing an number of commentators on the drama, from Aristotle onto the early 20^th century, and including substantial excerpts from their writings. Clark has also published other books on drama and literature. In this text, Clark’s book has been used to a great extent, as for quotes of historic writing almost exclusively.
