(George Pierce) 19006514 Dramatic Technique E-text prepared by Marius Masi, Jonathan Ingram, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Dramatic Technique" by George Pierce Baker is a guide on the art of playwriting written in the early 20th century. The text aims to bridge the gap between instinctive dramatists and the formal study of dramatic construction, providing insights into how successful plays have been crafted over time. It emphasizes the importance of learning from historical practices and aims to equip aspiring playwrights with a clearer understanding of the dynamics of drama. At the start of the book, Baker discusses the misconceptions surrounding the nature of drama and dramatists, arguing against the idea that playwrights are solely born rather than made. He emphasizes the necessity of studying dramatic techniques from both contemporary and historical perspectives, illustrating that successful dramatic construction reflects universal, special, and individual techniques. Baker’s preface sets the framework for the detailed exploration that follows, highlighting the blending of action, characterization, and dialogue as essential components in achieving emotional resonance with an audience.
