Title: Lafable copee, ridiculous erorrs
Review: Despite being toted as a college-level text (with a hefty price tag), this book is rife with typos, missing words and ridiculous formatting, including classics such as "existing the office" instead of "exiting the office." On top of this, the introductions to the playwrights distort their views and words to render them more politically correct. The editors make no mention of Strindberg's incredibly sexist views in the introduction to "Miss Julie". The "Topics for Critical Thinking and Writing" are so leading they aren't suitable for anyone more intellectually sophisticated than a middle-school student. All of this after it has gone through eight editions!In summary, this collection is hastily assembled with little proof-reading and less thought and research put into the introductions and "Play in Performance" sections. Do NOT buy this anthology. You would be better served selecting the plays you want to cover and buying used copies of each play.
