Subject: performance monographs
***********************************************************

Hi all,

I put together this list of monographs (including some dissertations) for
an assignment in my course on Theater, Dance and Performance in China at
the College of William and Mary this spring. I hope those interested in
pursuing teaching or research on Chinese performance will find it helpful.
Also, if you know of recent works not included on this list, especially
those from after 2000, please let me know.

Best wishes,
 
Emily E. Wilcox
