| Summary: | Although both Voices From the Landioash and stars ill the sky morning showcase the drama of Newfoundland and Labrad or, the volumes differ significantly in focus. Both texts have been prepared and are introduced with critical rigour and a sincere commitment to the material and artists involved.

The two anthologies are thus highly complementary and combine toillustr ate the breadth and frequent richness of an intense and doggedly independent theatrical tradition. |
