Twentieth-Century Models of the Theatrical Work
Krzysztof Pleśniarowicz

This book offers readers a clear model for reflecting upon works of theater, a summary of twentieth-century knowledge on the subject, and a holistic view of the consequences and achievements of modern theatrical autonomy. Krzysztof Pleśniarowicz draws an antinomy confined exclusively to works of theater: that of illusion/anti-illusion--in contrast to the largely obsolete opposition between a work of literature (drama) and a non-literary work of theater (play).

Professor Dobrochna Ratajczakowa

Pleśniarowicz's book is a relevant and current voice in the global discussion on how the art of theater has evolved. One of its strongest points is that it embeds theater theory solidly in its entire humanities context, as well as the undeniable originality of its approach to the topic and the clarity with which it is presented.
