Notes: Summary: Although puppets were first recorded in use in Burma in 1444, the art of the Burmese puppet theatre reached its height in the early 19th century, when it became not only the most popular form of entertainment but also a state vehicle for propaganda. This volume traces the evolution of the artform.
