Defining the Field
two special Modern Drama issues now available

Modern Drama was founded in 1958 and is the most prominent journal in English to focus on dramatic literature. The terms "modern" and "drama" are the subject of continuing and fruitful debate, but the journal has been distinguished by the excellence of its close readings of both canonical and lesser-known dramatic texts from a range of methodological perspectives. The journal features refereed articles written from a variety of geo-political points of view which enhance our understanding, both formal and historical, of the dramatic literature of the past two centuries; there is also an extensive book review section.

Published quarterly.
ISSN: 0026-7694 / On-line ISSN: 1712-5286

Elin Diamond has won this year's distinguished Association for Theatre in Higher Education Essay prize for outstanding critical article published in 2001, her essay Modern Drama/Modernity's Drama published in the second Modern Drama conference issue (44.1). Congratulations to her as the author and congratulations and thanks, too, to Joanne Tompkins, who edited the essay, Kim Solga who checked it, and Sylvia Hunter, who copy edited it. We are very proud of the two special conference issues, and are grateful to the ATHE committee who had the wisdom to recognize the quality of Elin's work.

Patricia Badir has also won the Association for Canadian Theatre Research's award for Outstanding Article on Canadian Drama and Theatre, for her article on Marjorie Pickthall's, The Woodcarver's Wife.
