Louis Kronenberger was an American author and dramatic critic. He was both a biographer and a novelist. The primary topics he liked to cover in his writing were the 18th century and drama, however he was also known for writing on various other topics and his opinion was well-respected and sought-after. His education on drama began when he studied at the University of Cincinnati, after which he moved to New York and worked at the New York Times for many years. In the years between 1938 and 1961 he worked for Time Magazine as a drama critic. After his tenure as a dramatic critic he worked for a while as a theater arts professor at Brandeis University.

Krongeberger's long career working in drama and critiquing drama makes him a viable expert in this field and applies well to his book The Best Plays. The book begins by surveying the plays of the year via four different venues for drama in the U.S.: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Southern California. The book goes in depth on the authors of the plays the book discusses. It also examines the dance dramas of the year. The book also explores a variety off Broadway plays of the year. In addition to these topics, the book also examines Broadway statistics. As a full discussion of plays in general, it also covers which plays that have had long runs on Broadway. For those particularly interested in awards, the book also has a section on Pulitzer Prize winners.

This book is a great exploration of incredible dramatic arts and is an interesting read for individuals interested in American drama. Suited for all levels of interest, this book would make an excellent addition to your dramatic collection.
