Description: Modern, reality driven "dramatizations" have a long tradition behind them. Favorini has collected 10 important 20th century examples of the genre. Each is accompanied with key documents related to their production and reception. In his introduction, Favorini draws on the work of Hayden White, Michel de Certeau, and Walter Ong to provide a historical theoretical framework for understanding this selection.
