Review Certain Fragments: Contemporary Performance and Forced Entertainment / Routledge:

Certain Fragments is an extraordinary exploration of what lies at the heart of contemporary theatre. Written by the artistic director of Forced Entertainment, acknowledged to be 'Britain's most brilliant experimental theatre company'( Guardian), Certain Fragments investigates the processes of devising performance, the role of writing in an interdisciplinary theatre, and the influence of the city on contemporary art practice. Tim Etchells' unique and provocative voice shifts from intimate anecdote to critical analysis and back again. As in his theatre-making, Etchells disrupts traditional notions of creative, academic and intellectual work. The book is an exciting and radical fusion of story-telling and criticism. It also makes available for the first time, four seminal Forced Entertainment texts by Etchells.

Review A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in Worcester Cathedral Library / D.S.Brewer:

Worcester Cathedral Library contains 277 medieval manuscripts, the largest number of any English cathedral except Durham. Most of them belonged to the pre-Reformation Cathedral Priory and date between the eleventh and late fifteenth centuries. The collection has never been adequately catalogued before, and is consequently little known; much of the contents of the books, their physical features and history, is here described for the first time. The library is rich in late medieval theology and sermon-literature. Many of the books are important because of their connections with Oxford University, and constitute a valuable source for the history of studies there after c. 1300. The Worcester monks tended to annotate and write their names in their books, and some seventy of them are identified. Great treasures are the Worcester Antiphoner, and the fragments of early polyphonic music, some newly-discovered and described for the first time. About half the books are in their medieval bindings, including the second-oldest intact Anglo-Saxon binding. These are described individually, and the history of binding at the Cathedral Priory traced, by Michael Gullick. [+]
The rest of the Introduction is devoted to the history of the books and library to the early 1600s. There are indexes of incipits and of manuscripts other than those catalogued, as well as a general index. R. M. THOMSON is Emeritus Professor of History, University of Tasmania; MICHAEL GULLICK. Other Cathedral library catalogues; Catalogue of the Manuscripts of Hereford Cathedral Library and Catalogue of the Manuscripts of Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Library.

Review The Grotowski Sourcebook (Worlds of Performance) / Routledge:

The influence of Jerzy Grotowski's work on twentieth century theatre is undeniable. A key player in making his work known was The Drama Review, and now, for the first time, 30 years' worth of articles by and about Grotowski are gathered together to shed light on the work of this enigmatic, influential director. Separate introductions by Richard Schechner and Lisa Wolford provide the framework and place Grotowski and the wide range of writings about him into context. The Grotowski Sourcebook includes seminal articles by key practitioners and theorists, six pieces by Grotowski himself and previously unpublished interviews. With its coverage of each phase of Grotowski's long and varied career, and the inclusion of photographs documenting Grotowski and his followers in action, The Sourcebook offers the most comprehensive look at the man to date. Contributors include Eugenio Barba, Peter Brooks, Jan Kott, EricBentley, and Jennifer Kumiega.
