The term Drama comes from a Greek word meaning "action". The use of "drama" in the narrow sense to designate a specific type of play dates from the 19th century. Drama in this sense refers to a play that is neither a comedy nor a tragedy. The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. They are symbols of the ancient Greek Muses, Thalia and Melpomene.
Whether you are a student of literature or a connoisseur of the genre of drama, at least a book on Drama is a ‘must have’ in your collection of books. Anthologies by multiple authors are a great choice if you want a bunch of dramas in one book. Books on drama may range from the most popular Shakespeare plays, to English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and so on. For those conversant with foreign language there are books written in different languages like Spanish dramas, french dramas etc. A few noted one's are
* Romeo And Juliet
* African Women Playwrights
* Masterpieces of the drama
