E. Zucker is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to explore the rich history and development of Chinese theater, covering its formal evolution, cultural significance, and unique characteristics. It looks to fill a gap in the literature by providing insights into the subject matter that is often overlooked in Western writings. At the start of the work, Zucker sets the context by discussing the perception of Chinese theater in both Eastern and Western viewpoints. He mentions the lack of substantial research into the historical context of the Chinese drama and highlights the evolution of the theater from its origins in the T'ang Dynasty to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The opening chapters include references to key figures, notable plays, and cultural influences shaping the dramatic arts in China, emphasizing the interplay between theater and broader social constructs, such as Confucian values. As he lays out the groundwork for the subsequent exploration of theatrical forms, Zucker reflects on the intricate relationship between art and society in China, reinforcing the idea that understanding this genre is essential for grasping the essence of Chinese culture.
