The Triumph of Pierrot: The Commedia Dell'Arte and the Modern Imagination

Rating:
Summary: Pretty cool
Review: This history was really interesting. The organization is strange; it's topical rather than chronological. I've used it for a reference project, but I think it's awesome enough for leisure reading. Green and Swan discuss how history, visual arts, music, literature are all related to the commedia in the 20th century. It's been great for my research, but it's a great, accessible history book. I rate it 4 because occasionally statements contradict each other, and of course, the organization is weird because Green wrote 4 chapters or so and Swan wrote the other 4.
