In this survey of the development of the world of theater up to the Baroque period, Margaret Berthold discusses such phenomena as the demon dance of a masked shaman, the "tragedie classique" of Corneille and Racine, the Egyptian Osiris festival ceremonies, and Italian "commedia dell'arte" improvizations.

Berthold looks at comedy, tragedy, mime, religious and secular drama, kabuki, noh, puppet theater, court ballet, opera, masques, pantomime, the amphitheatre, and song-play.
