Description: In ten wide-ranging case studies, theater history and performance theory are brought together to examine the texts, artifacts, and icons left behind, reading them in fresh ways to offer an elegantly written, extended meditation on  ́how the aesthetic of ruins offered a model for an ideal that dislodged and ultimately stood in for the historic. ́--Publisher description.
