Zusammenfassung:	Reviews (1) "Puppets and 'Popular' Culture" by Scott Cutler Shershow ( Cornell Univ. Press, 1995 $35.00); and (2) "Pinocchio's Progeny: Puppets, Marionettes, Automatons and Robots in Modernist and Avant-Garde Drama" by Harold B. Segel Johns Hopkins Univ. Press/PAJ Books, 1995, $48.50 hbk, $16.95 pbk). Both books discuss how puppets have been used in European theatrical culture. Shershow explores puppet as "performing object" and metaphor from the Renaissance to postmodern era. Segel emphasizes the disjuncture between early and modern usage.
