Bechtel (theater, Miami U., Ohio) is concerned here with the growing number of theatrical representations that demand historical reflection, yet attenuate their referential connection to actual
historical incidents. The six examples he describes require both scholars and audiences to think about exactly how they engage history, because it is very different than for conventional
historical drama. Some of the material has appeared in theater journals. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
