Theatre: Historical Reviews

This guide is intended to serve students who are studying theatre. It includes several helpful resources provided by Warner Library.

What is a Historical Review?

A Historical Review is a type of literature review that focuses on examining research throughout time, often starting with the first time the topic emerged in the literature and then examining how approaches to that topic have changed over time. The goal of this type of review is to provide historical context for the research question.
