A Primer on Theatre and Aesthetics

Arts & Literature

“Lauren Friesen’s approach to aesthetics strikes a balance that Plato could admire, presenting a wide ranging, circuitous subject with logical precision and callbacks for the reader. Even as a primer, it feels weighty and charged for a constructive debate. From the ancient philosophers to twenty-first-century playwrights, Dr. Friesen spotlights the major actors while leaving room for thoughtful reflection, disagreement, and applause. Bravo!”
