Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Here lies she whom her husband's kindness killed” This is the epitaph, in golden letters, Master John Frankford proposes for the tomb of his wife, Anne, who has just starved herself to death. Frankford congratulates himself on the clever means by which he has brought his wife to repentance-and got rid of her. The marriage is comfortable, if uneventful, until Frankford gives his friend Wendoll the free use of his table and purse. When Wendoll takes even more than was offered, and confesses his desperate love to Anne, a complex and tragic drama ensues. Praised as Heywood's best play and as the best “domestic tragedy,” A Woman Killed with Kindness (1603) requires us to consider who and what the household includes and on what conditions. What are the limits of hospitality? What are the relationships between friendship and marriage, intimacy and possession? This student edition contains a fully annotated version of the playtext in modern spelling. The Introduction includes a detailed discussion of the play's interpretation and stage history.

Book Synopsis A Woman Killed With Kindness by : Thomas Heywood
Download or read book A Woman Killed With Kindness written by Thomas Heywood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of two plays written by popular English playwright Thomas Heywood, who lived in the 16th and 17 centuries. "A Woman Killed with Kindness" was first acted in 1603 and published in 1607, and "The Fair Maid of the West" was first acted and published in 1631. These works offer readers the opportunity to absorb some of Heywood's most prominent writings. "A Woman Killed with Kindness" is Thomas Heywood's signature drama. It is the story of John and Anne Frankford, a married couple, and a man by the name of Wendoll, a houseguest of the Frankford's. While living with the Frankford's Wendoll begins to pursue Anne, which causes great distress in the household. This play is considered a masterwork of the domestic tragedy subgenre, and demonstrates Early Elizabethan and Jacobean views of the world and the gender roles of men and women. While lesser known, "The Fair Maid of the West" is another seminal work by Thomas Heywood. Once again this play explores gender roles, this time in a play set in Plymouth, England the late 16th century. The principal character is Bess Bridges, a young woman who works at a bar in Plymouth. The two-part comedy explores the life and hardships of Bess, as she is pursued by men and seeks to carve her own path in the world. More humorous than "A Woman Killed with Kindness," "The Fair Maid of the West" still contains a good deal of drama and is an excellent representation of early modern English theatre. Fans of English Renaissance theatre will surely enjoy this collection of two of Thomas Heywood's greatest works. While written and first published decades apart, the two plays share a style and thematic interest in gender roles that are characteristic of Heywood's plays. This collection is highly recommended to both fans of Thomas Heywood and those who are unfamiliar with the playwright but curious about the history of English theatrical productions.

Book Synopsis Before You Know Kindness by : Chris Bohjalian
Download or read book Before You Know Kindness written by Chris Bohjalian and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2005-08-09 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Flight Attendant, here is a novel that examines wildly divisive American issues like gun control and animal rights with Chris Bohjalian’s trademark emotional heft and spellbinding storytelling skill. For ten summers, the Seton family—all three generations—met at their country home in New England to spend a week together playing tennis, badminton, and golf, and savoring gin and tonics on the wraparound porch to celebrate the end of the season. In the eleventh summer, everything changed. A hunting rifle with a single cartridge left in the chamber wound up in exactly the wrong hands at exactly the wrong time, and led to a nightmarish accident that put to the test the values that unite the family—and the convictions that just may pull it apart. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of five exemplary domestic plays--the anonymous Arden of Faversham and A Warning for Fair Women (1590s), Thomas Heywood's A Woman Killed with Kindness (1607), Thomas Middleton's Women Beware Women (ca. 1613), and Walter Mountfort's The Launching of the Mary, or The Seaman's Honest Wife (1632)--offers a new approach to the emerging ideology of the private and public, or what Ann C. Christensen terms "the tragedy of the separate spheres." Feminist scholarship has identified the fruitful gaps between theories and practices of household government in early modern Europe, while work on the global Renaissance attends to commercial expansion, cross-cultural encounters, and colonial settlements. Separation Scenes brings these critical concerns together to expose the intimate and disruptive relationships between the domestic culture and business culture of early modern England. Separation Scenes argues that domestic plays make the absence of husbands for business the subject of tragedy by focusing not on where men traveled but on whom and what they left behind. Elements that critics have rightly associated with domestic tragedy--adultery, sensational murders, and the lavishly articulated operations of domestic life--define this world, which, Christensen argues, was equally shaped by the absence of husbands. Her interpretations of these domestic plays invite us to historicize and further complicate the seemingly universal binary between a feminine "private sphere" and a masculine "public sphere." Separation Scenes demonstrates how domestic drama played an active, dynamic, and critical role in deliberating the costs of commercial travel as it disrupted domestic conduct and prompted realignments within the home.

Download or read book The Tamer Tamed written by John Fletcher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tamer Tamed is the subtitle or alternative title to John Fletcher's The Woman's Prize, a comedic sequel and reply to The Taming of the Shrew. The plot switches the gender roles of Shakespeare's play: the women seek to tame the men. Katherine (the "shrew" of the original) has died, and Petruchio takes a second wife, Maria. Maria denounces her former mildness and vows not to sleep with Petruchio until she "turn him and bend him as [she] list, and mold him into a babe again." After many comedic exchanges and plot twists, Petruchio is finally "tamed" in the eyes of Maria, and the play ends with the two reconciled. The play is seen to reflect how society's views of women, femininity, and "domestic propriety" were beginning to change. It is said that Fletcher wrote this play to attract Shakespeare's attention - the two went on to collaborate on at least three plays together. This brand new New Mermaid edition offers unique and fresh insight into the critical interpretation of the play. It builds on current critical foundations (the relationship with Taming of the Shrew, gender relations etc) and suggests different areas of interest (popular associations of the shrew, the question of reputation, and a re-examination of the play's structure). as well as examining stage history and recent productions.

Download or read book The Women written by Hilton Als and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 1998-01-31 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book Daring and fiercely original, The Women is at once a memoir, a psychological study, a sociopolitical manifesto, and an incisive adventure in literary criticism. It is conceived as a series of portraits analyzing the role that sexual and racial identity played in the lives and work of the writer's subjects: his mother, a self-described "Negress," who would not be defined by the limitations of race and gender; the mother of Malcolm X, whose mixed-race background and eventual descent into madness contributed to her son's misogyny and racism; brilliant, Harvard-educated Dorothy Dean, who rarely identified with other blacks or women, but deeply empathized with white gay men; and the late Owen Dodson, a poet and dramatist who was female-identified and who played an important role in the author's own social and intellectual formation. Hilton Als submits both racial and sexual stereotypes to his inimitable scrutiny with relentless humor and sympathy. The results are exhilarating. The Women is that rarest of books: a memorable work of self-investigation that creates a form of all its own.
