Books about Plays, Playwrights, Film, Theater, etc.
Search in the Library Catalog to find books at the UofC. Use WorldCat to discover books we don't own and request them using Borrow Direct, UBorrow or Interlibrary Loan.
Tips:
Use subject searching to look for books about a topic or person. In the "begins with" (aka browse) search of the Library Catalog or "Advanced" search in WorldCat, names must be [last name], [first name]. For example :
- Brecht, Bertolt
- Godard, Jean-Luc
- Weiss, Peter
Look for key subject headings, such as "aesthetics," "criticism and interpretation," "dramatic production," "dramatic works," or "motion pictures." For example :
- Brecht, Bertolt, 1898-1956 -- Aesthetics.
- Diop Mambéty, Djibril, 1945- -- Criticism and interpretation.
- Müller, Heiner, 1929-1995 -- Dramatic works.
Use topical subject headings to pinpoint specific topics. For example :
- Theater -- Production and direction
- Theater -- Production and direction -- Germany (East) -- History
- Politics and literature
- European drama
- Motion pictures -- Philosophy
(You can combine subject headings most easily in WorldCat if you use the "more like this" link.)
Ebooks in the Hathi Trust are listed in the Library Catalog.
