An Invitation to Students and Scholars of the British Theatre from Kerry Moore, Editorial Advisor
Grolier is in the midst of producing the publication of the Encyclopedia of Modern Drama, edited by Gabrielle H. Cody and Evert Sprinchorn of Vassar College. This four-volume set will offer a total of one million words on a variety of topics ranging from
Ibsen to the present, and the target audience consists of college students, high school students and general readers. Following is an elaboration from the general editors:
International, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary in scope, the encyclopedia will be structured as a compendium of substantive articles, and will differ conceptually from previous and existing works of reference by positioning crucial playwrights directly
into political, cultural, and philosophical contexts. Experts in the fields of theater history, dramatic literature and criticism, and theater studies will engage conventional as well as experimental, established as well as emerging, authors. Much emphasis will be placed on the multiplicity of aesthetic genres, viewpoints, and voices that animate
the modern and contemporary dramatic landscape.
As a member of the Advisory Board, I have responsibility for the sections on the drama of
England, Scotland, and Wales extending from 1860 to 2004. Most of the essays required for this section are either biographical profiles of playwrights or brief analyses of selected plays.
I seek scholars to write 500 word contributions on the following remaining topics:
Biographical Entries:
Yasmina Reeza
Peter Nichols
Mark Ravenhill
Micheline Wandor
Neil LaBute
Richard Bean
Alan Bennett
Maria Oshodi
Plays:
ART
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JOE EGG
THE SHAPE OF THINGS
UNDER THE WHALE BACK
TALKING HEADS
THE CLOTHES THEY STOOD UP IN
BLOOD, SWEAT AND FEARS
Each entry will bear the author's name, and contributors will be compensated at the rate of twelve cents per word, so a 500-word essay would pay $60. Each contributor may commit to as many or as few essays as s/he wishes and each topic is available until I assign it to someone.
Sample essays and guidelines for submission will accompany your contract from Grolier.
If you would like to contribute, please contact me via email at
[email protected] and let me know which topics interest you. Please do not submit finished essays until I have confirmed your assignments.
