Bibliography and Sources Used

The basis for this thesis is formed, of course, by the vocal score:


Sondheim, Stephen Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street Revelation Music Publishing Corp. & Rilting Music, Inc. New York, 1979

Then there are two other books of which I have learned much useful information:


Banfield, Stephen Sondheim's Broadway Musicals University of Michigan Press, 1993
Pfister, Manfred The Theory and Analysis of Drama Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991

Most of the quotations from the older theorists were obtained from this book:


Brownstein, O.L, and Daubert, D.M Analytical Sourcebook of Concepts in Dramatic Theory Westport, Connecticut, London: Greenwich Press, 1981
