Early Forms

Scholars believe that drama dates back to the time of the earliest peoples. Drama probably began as part of religious festivals and ceremonies. These took place in many cultures, including those of ancient Egypt, India, and China.

Western drama has its roots in ancient Greece. The great age of Greek drama was the 400s bce. Greek drama was written in poetry. A few actors portrayed all the play's characters. Greek playwrights also wrote parts for a group called the chorus. The chorus stood off to the side and described and explained the action. Greek tragedies told about important people and events from legends or history. The comedies from this period often made fun of the day's political figures.

During the Middle Ages (500-1500 ce) in Europe most drama was based in Christianity. Some plays of the period told stories from the Bible. Others dramatized the lives of Christian saints or presented a moral lesson.

In the 1300s in Japan a new form of drama, called Noh, developed. A Noh drama presents classic Japanese legends using movement, music, and words. About 230 of the classical Noh stories are still performed today. A man named Zeami wrote 90 of them. He is considered the greatest Noh playwright.

The 1500s and 1600s were a great period for drama in England and Spain. Playwrights wrote in a wide range of styles. The greatest playwright of this period was William Shakespeare of England. He wrote complex, action-filled plays with realistic characters.

In the 1600s Jean Racine and other French dramatists wrote plays set in ancient Greece. Their plays featured grand themes and poetic language. The French playwright Molière wrote a different type of play. His comedies poked fun at the fashions and faults of French society of the time.

In the 1700s in Japan a type of puppet theater called Bunraku reached its artistic height. A man named Chikamatsu Monzaemon wrote Bunraku plays that were admired as both literature and entertainment. He wrote historical romances as well as tragedies about ordinary people of his time.

Modern Drama

In the 1800s and early 1900s many Western plays focused on ordinary people rather than kings, warriors, or legendary heroes. These plays explored the characters' inner struggles. Many plays also dealt with social problems, such as corruption and greed in society. Henrik Ibsen of Norway and Anton Chekhov of Russia wrote plays in this realistic style. In England George Bernard Shaw used humor to attack society's problems. Eugene O'Neill of the United States used some of the themes of ancient tragedies. But he placed them in more modern times among everyday characters.

After World War II ended in 1945 many people felt discouraged about the state of the world. Some European playwrights wrote plots and dialogue that made little sense. This was meant to show that life is ridiculous. Their plays came to be known as Theater of the Absurd.

Other playwrights continued to explore familiar topics. In the United States Arthur Miller wrote dramas that focused on the inner lives and family conflicts of strong characters. Similar themes appeared in the plays of Tennessee Williams. Williams often set his plays in the southern United States.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries playwrights of many different backgrounds began to produce notable dramas. Starting in the 1960s several African American dramatists, such as August Wilson, became successful. Social problems and the conflicts of ordinary people continued to provide material for playwrights. But many playwrights also experimented with bold, fresh ways of telling their stories.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Poetry is a type of literature, or artistic writing, that attempts to stir a reader’s imagination or emotions. The poet does this by carefully choosing and arranging language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. Some poems, such as nursery rhymes, are simple and humorous. Other poems may try to express some truth about life, to tell a story, or to honor a person or a god. Poetry appears in a great many forms and styles. This makes it difficult to define exactly.

One thing that makes poems different from other types of writing is their structure. The words of a poem are arranged in lines and groups of lines, called stanzas. For example, here is the first stanza of the poem “From a Railway Carriage,” about an exciting train ride, by Robert Louis Stevenson:

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
All of the sights of the hill and the plain
Fly as thick as driving rain;
And ever again, in the wink of an eye
Painted stations whistle by.

Early Forms

Scholars believe that drama dates back to the time of the earliest peoples. Drama probably began as part of religious festivals and ceremonies. These took place in many cultures, including those of ancient Egypt, India, and China.

Western drama has its roots in ancient Greece. The great age of Greek drama was the 400s bce. Greek drama was written in poetry. A few actors portrayed all the play's characters. Greek playwrights also wrote parts for a group called the chorus. The chorus stood off to the side and described and explained the action. Greek tragedies told about important people and events from legends or history. The comedies from this period often made fun of the day's political figures.

During the Middle Ages (500-1500 ce) in Europe most drama was based in Christianity. Some plays of the period told stories from the Bible. Others dramatized the lives of Christian saints or presented a moral lesson.

In the 1300s in Japan a new form of drama, called Noh, developed. A Noh drama presents classic Japanese legends using movement, music, and words. About 230 of the classical Noh stories are still performed today. A man named Zeami wrote 90 of them. He is considered the greatest Noh playwright.

The 1500s and 1600s were a great period for drama in England and Spain. Playwrights wrote in a wide range of styles. The greatest playwright of this period was William Shakespeare of England. He wrote complex, action-filled plays with realistic characters.

In the 1600s Jean Racine and other French dramatists wrote plays set in ancient Greece. Their plays featured grand themes and poetic language. The French playwright Molière wrote a different type of play. His comedies poked fun at the fashions and faults of French society of the time.

In the 1700s in Japan a type of puppet theater called Bunraku reached its artistic height. A man named Chikamatsu Monzaemon wrote Bunraku plays that were admired as both literature and entertainment. He wrote historical romances as well as tragedies about ordinary people of his time.

Modern Drama

In the 1800s and early 1900s many Western plays focused on ordinary people rather than kings, warriors, or legendary heroes. These plays explored the characters' inner struggles. Many plays also dealt with social problems, such as corruption and greed in society. Henrik Ibsen of Norway and Anton Chekhov of Russia wrote plays in this realistic style. In England George Bernard Shaw used humor to attack society's problems. Eugene O'Neill of the United States used some of the themes of ancient tragedies. But he placed them in more modern times among everyday characters.

After World War II ended in 1945 many people felt discouraged about the state of the world. Some European playwrights wrote plots and dialogue that made little sense. This was meant to show that life is ridiculous. Their plays came to be known as Theater of the Absurd.

Other playwrights continued to explore familiar topics. In the United States Arthur Miller wrote dramas that focused on the inner lives and family conflicts of strong characters. Similar themes appeared in the plays of Tennessee Williams. Williams often set his plays in the southern United States.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries playwrights of many different backgrounds began to produce notable dramas. Starting in the 1960s several African American dramatists, such as August Wilson, became successful. Social problems and the conflicts of ordinary people continued to provide material for playwrights. But many playwrights also experimented with bold, fresh ways of telling their stories.

Early Forms Scholars believe that drama dates back to the time of the earliest peoples. Drama probably began as part of religious festivals and ceremonies. These took place in many cultures, including those of ancient Egypt, India, and China. Western drama has its roots in ancient Greece.
