Towards a theatrical attitude in man

Abstract

The objective of this book is not to make an exhaustive recital of quotations on this theme by well known authors, but only to emphasize the broad variety of ways in which this matter has been approached. Neither, it is not the aim to pursue an historical enquiry, but to establish clearly as it is possible, on a scientific and artistic base, the thaatrical elements in man, which enable drama theory to seek out their manifest forms from its origin; thus this main review of generic arguments is connected with a sociohistoric interpretation of the dramatic function.
