Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Theatrical Criticism The most part of this little volume has already appeared before in one shape or other. The Essays on 'The Stage as It is, ' and 'Othello at the Lyceum, ' are reprinted, with some slight alterations, from Macmillan's Magazine. The rest, with the exception of ' A School of Dramatic Art, ' are based upon articles contributed to one of our daily papers within the last six years. I have tried to make them something more than mere reprints; but there is so much of this sort of work abroad now, and the feeling against it is, and with too good reason, so strong, that I can hardly hope this preliminary confession is likely to attract a very numerous body of readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Creative Criticism: Essays on the Unity of Genius and Taste Three of the four essays in this volume have already appeared in print. The first, "The New Criticism," was delivered as a lecture at Columbia University in 1910, and was published, under the title of "Literary Criticism," in the Columbia University Lectures on Literature; "Dramatic Criticism and the Theatre" was published in the fourth volume of Essays and Studies by Members of the English Association (Oxford: Clarendon Press); and "Creative Connoisseurship" was written as a letter to an artist friend and was printed in the New York Evening Post. All of them have undergone more or less alteration, and a few passages taken from an article on "The Seven Arts and the Seven Confusions" in the Seven Arts have been added to them. The essays are now gathered together in the hope that they may stimulate interest in a province of aesthetic theory which has been largely neglected by the English-speaking world.

Essays of the Theatre I take it to be fitting that this book should be dedicated to that one of my friends who, so far from being its only begetter, was the chief coun sellor against publication. It was you who urged that the essential temper of newspaper criticism - its obligation to fire at sight - was antagonistic to reproduction. Little can you have guessed at the premeditation which runs before the critical impromptu! Is it possible that you never had an inkling of the labour and travail which, with all good critics, should precede performance, that you took us at our written word and marvelled at the never-failing accuracy and appositeness of our instruction? Whereas any honest critic will con fess to the feverish turning up of Little Arthur which is to make him sound on the Henrys and the Edwards and so enable him to face the Histories without flinching, and to the furtive dive into the latest number of The Lancet which is to equip him for Damaged Goods.

This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Drama an Essay in Interpretation With a few honourable exceptions books about books are apt, at present in America, to be any thing but critical. An account of the modern drama, therefore, that aims at historical orderliness and intellectual coherence need not, perhaps, offer an excuse for its existence. My study is not one of phases or aspects but of the whole subject which I have attempted to grasp and to interpret as a whole. If I have succeeded m any measure, this volume should prove of real usefulness to students, teachers and critics of the drama. I have omitted any discussion of the theatre of Italy and Spain. No criticism can be fruitful which is not based on an intimate acquaintance with the idiom which that literature employs. But this omission represents no absolute loss. Italy and Spain have followed and exemplified the tendencies and methods of the modern theatre. They have neither changed them nor originated others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Essays These were some of the subjects most prominent in the literary discussions of the time when Dryden wrote his essays in dramatic criticism, and it was perfectly natural, therefore, that his own mind should be full Of them. What are the relative values of the ancient and modern dramas How does the French drama (based in theory on the ancient) com pare with the romantic drama of the older English stage? What in turn may be said for and against this romantic drama itself when it is set beside the drama of Dryden's own time What is the real significance of the unities? Has tragi-comedy any justification? What is the proper place and what the proper treatment of love in the modern drama? What are the advantages and drawbacks of action and narrative of rhyme and blank verse? Such are the topics which recur in Dryden's pages; and if for most of us to-day they are scarcely living issues, the historical importance, and even the critical value, of what Dryden says about them are not the less on that account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Types: Being Essays in Criticism I have applied the title Of Literary Types to the following essays in criticism, because each writer that I have treated of seems to me to develop a particular phase in literary history. Landor I have termed Dramatist, not because he wrote one or two plays, but because all the literary work he did was essentially dramatic in intention and execution. I have appended the epithet of Man of Letters to De Quincey for the reason that no narrower term seems able to adequately express his compass or versatility. The words Essayist, Philosopher, and Novelist, apply naturally, without need of any explanation here, to Lamb, Carlyle, and Dickens. A word is, perhaps, necessary to explain why I have set down the name Poet as an epithet distinctive Of Coleridge, considering what I have said Of him in the following pages. I have done so because he not only was a pre-eminent poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Feminist Theatrical Revisions of Classic Works written by Sharon Friedman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-visioning the classics, often in a subversive mode, has evolved into its own theatrical genre in recent years, and many of these productions have been informed by feminist theory and practice. This book examines recent adaptations of classic texts (produced since 1980) influenced by a range of feminisms, and illustrates the significance of historical moment, cultural ideology, dramaturgical practice, and theatrical venue for shaping an adaptation. Essays are arranged according to the period and genre of the source text re-visioned: classical theater and myth (e.g. Antigone, Metamorphoses), Shakespeare and seventeenth-century theater (e.g. King Lear, The Rover), nineteenth and twentieth century narratives and reflections (e.g. The Scarlet Letter, Jane Eyre, A Room of One's Own), and modern drama (e.g. A Doll House, A Streetcar Named Desire).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Simon Leys is a Renaissance man for the era of globalization. A distinguished scholar of classical Chinese art and literature and one of the first Westerners to recognize the appalling toll of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Leys also writes with unfailing intelligence, seriousness, and bite about European art, literature, history, and politics and is an unflinching observer of the way we live now. The Hall of Uselessness is the most extensive collection of Leys’s essays to be published to date. In it, he addresses subjects ranging from the Chinese attitude to the past to the mysteries of Belgium and Belgitude; offers portraits of André Gide and Zhou Enlai; takes on Roland Barthes and Christopher Hitchens; broods on the Cambodian genocide; reflects on the spell of the sea; and writes with keen appreciation about writers as different as Victor Hugo, Evelyn Waugh, and Georges Simenon. Throughout, The Hall of Uselessness is marked with the deep knowledge, skeptical intelligence, and passionate conviction that have made Simon Leys one of the most powerful essayists of our time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of the Theatre and Other Principles of Dramatic Criticism Most of the chapters which make up the present volume have already appeared, in earlier versions, in certain magazines; and to the editors of The Forum, The North American Review, The Smart Set, and The Bookman, I am indebted for permission to republish such materials as I have culled from my contributions to their pages. Though these papers were written at different times and for different immediate circles of subscribers, they were all designed from the outset to illustrate certain steady central principles of dramatic criticism; and, thus collected, they afford, I think, a consistent exposition of the most important points in the theory of the theatre. The introductory chapter, entitled What is a Play?, has not, in any form, appeared in print before; and all the other papers have been diligently revised, and in many passages entirely rewritten.

That decision has made him a controversial figure among academic musicians, in spite of his rigorous training at Juilliard, and with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Richard Kostelanetz has gathered a lively and varied collection of writings about Philip Glass's work, along with several interviews and a conversation between Glass and sculptor Richard Serra.
