Parlakian, Nishan and Cowe, S. Peter · 2001
Available in English for the first time, the anthology presents seven classic works from the Armenian stage spanning over a century (1871–1992), exploring science and religion, socioeconomic injustice, women's emancipation and political reform through all the major European dramatic genres. Parlakian and Cowe provide a comprehensive introduction to the history and development of Armenian drama, a biography of each playwright, and a preface to each play placing it in its historical and cultural context.
