Summary "The Dramatic Imagination is one of the few works written about set design. Beginning in 1915, Robert Edmond Jones's innovations in set design and lighting brought new ideas to the stage. But it is Jones's greater understanding of design - its role at the heart of the theatrical experience - that has continued to inspire theater students. The Dramatic Imagination includes "A New Kind of Drama," "To a Young Stage Designer," and six other of Jones's "reflections.""--BOOK JACKET
