Book excerpt: First published in 1970. This book examines the areas of plays that are dependent upon the art of the theatre and the fluidity of interpretation to which this gives rise.

Finally, some of the problems created by the instability of theatrical art

Download or read book T.S. Eliot's Drama written by Randy Malamud and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1992-03-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though better known for his poetry, T. S. Eliot wrote seven important plays between 1926 and 1958, of which Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Cocktail Party (1949) may be most produced. Posthumously, he won Tony Awards in 1983 for the musical adaptation of his poetry in the Broadway production of Cats. He was at the forefront of a mid-twentieth-century revival of the genre of verse drama and also wrote a considerable body of dramatic criticism. Notwithstanding the hundreds of critical sources annotated in this bibliography, the Eliot industry has neglected the plays in recent years, producing few important studies on par with those on the poetry. This new sourcebook surveys the entire dramaturgical and critical discourse surrounding Eliot's plays. A separate chapter for each play provides characters, synopsis, detailed production history, critical overview of both performance reviews and scholarly response, textual notes and influences, and publishing history. The comprehensive bibliography is divided into sections for primary works, including Eliot's plays and essays on drama plus interviews and archival materials, and secondary sources, including scholarly and review criticism in general and of single plays. Also featured are a chronology of major career events, an introductory analysis, and an appendix of additional performance adaptations. Two other appendixes offer chronological access to all secondary sources and succinct data on major productions and their credits. Fully cross-referenced and indexed, this exhaustive compendium makes information and resources immediately accessible to anyone doing research on Eliot or modern British and American drama.

Download or read book Understanding Chekhov written by Donald Rayfield and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all Russian writers, Chekhov is one of the best liked and most easily appreciated. Yet because his work is subtle and understated, we need help to understand him. Chekhov can be (as his friends complained) the most elusive of writers, and one who appears capable of having two opposite views and opposite intentions simultaneously. Donald Rayfield, one of the world's foremost Chekhov scholars, reveals the layers of meaning on which the stories and plays are built. All Chekhov's important works are studied: we see how closely the two genres are connected and gain insight into Chekhov's rapid development over his brief twenty years of creative life, from medical student supplementing his income by writing comic stories, to father of twentieth-century drama and narrative prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preface to Drama: An Introduction to Dramatic Literature and Theater Art To these two parts is added an Appendix containing a variety of supplementary materials: notes for the essays and introductions, queries to stimulate closer reading or discussion, specially devised outline-worksheets to guide disciplined analysis, and suggestions for study and further reading. In a variety of ways, Preface to Drama will serve both those who approach the Drama as one of the major types of Literature and those who approach it as the enduring expression of the Theater. It will serve as an introduction to the drama - whether as a course in English, Speech and Drama, or the Humanities. To acknowledge indebtedness can be a pleasure as well as a duty. Helpful indeed have been the critical suggestions made by those persons who have read the manuscript in whole or in part: Dr. Ray Nichols and Mr. George Stoughton, Dr. And Mrs. Arthur C. Berdahl, Dr. James Marshall and Dr. Benjamin G. Whitten, my wife Edris B. Cooper, and the students in my courses who gave me the benefit of their frank comments. Upon my continuing debt to Dr. I. A. Richards and Dr. Albert W. Upton - too great for payment in full - I make another installment of gratitude.

Download or read book The Origin of German Tragic Drama written by Walter Benjamin and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of German Tragic Drama is Walter Benjamin's most sustained and original work. It begins with a general theoretical introduction on the nature of the baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, concentrating on the peculiar stage-form of royal martyr dramas called Trauerspiel. Benjamin also comments on the engravings of Durer and the theatre of Calderon and Shakespeare. Baroque tragedy, he argues, was distinguished from classical tragedy by its shift from myth into history. Georg Lukacs, an opponent of Benjamin's aesthetics, singled out The Origin of German Tragic Drama as one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive work is truly the first textbook in the field of dramaturgy. Most of the material-much of it by leaders in all areas of the theater-was commissioned for this collection, rather than being reprinted. Its currency and importance cannot be overestimated. A review of the history of dramaturgy as a profession, together with its European antecedents, gives students a sense of historical context. Selections from respected and recognized names in theater provoke student interest and communicate the benefits of those experts' experiences.
