A theater criticism arts journalism primer

Аннотация

The sub-title chosen for this book is Refereeing the Muses. It seemed a fitting description for what it is that professional arts critics do and what, after completing your reading o f this book, you are likely to be doing as well. In ancient Greece, where many o f the arts were conceived or refined, poets validated their work by claiming it was inspired by the muses— the goddesses who presided over all o f the arts and all the sciences.
