Download or read book Five Comedies written by Plautus and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book worthy of high praise... All versions are exceedingly witty and versatile, in verse that ripples from one's lips, pulling all the punches of Plautus, the knockabout king of farce, and proving that the more polished Terence can be just as funny. Accuracy to the original has been thoroughly respected, but look at the humour in rendering Diphilius' play called Synapothnescontes as Three's a Shroud... Students in schools and colleges will benefit from short introductions to each play, to Roman stage conventions, to different types of Greek and Roman comedy, and there is a note on staging, with a diagram illustrating a typical Roman stage and further diagrams of the basic set for each play. The translators have paid more attention to stage directions than is usually given in translations, because they aim to show how these plays worked.

Download or read book Five Comedies written by George Sand and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two full-length and three one-act plays, translated here for the first time into English. Best known as a novelist, George Sand (1804–1876) was also arguably the most successful woman dramatist in history. More than twenty of her plays were staged in major Paris theaters to widespread popular and critical acclaim. Translated here for the first time into English are her two most famous full-length comedies, The Marquis de Villemer and Françoise, as well as her three major one-act plays, The Paving Stone, The Japanese Lily, and A Good Deed Is Never Wasted. Noted for their lively characterization, sparkling dialogue, and deft constructions, her plays reflect the passion and generosity of her own character, as well as a quick-witted sense of humor. The translations are preceded by an introduction outlining Sand’s theatrical career, the main themes and characteristics of her plays, and critical appraisals from her own generation to the present day. The translations are followed by notes and a bibliography. E. H. Blackmore and Francine Giguère are freelance translators. A. M. Blackmore is Lecturer at Curtin University. Their previous collaborative translations include Twelve Plays by Alfred de Musset. The Blackmores have also coedited and cotranslated Selected Poems of Victor Hugo; The Major Epics of Victor Hugo; and (with James McGowan and Martin Sorrell) Six French Poets of the Nineteenth Century.

Book Synopsis Five Comedies of Medieval France by :
Download or read book Five Comedies of Medieval France written by and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection of French medieval plays is the first of its kind in the English language. It presents genuine translations -- not adaptations -- of three secular farces, a humorous miracle play, and a musical pastoral. The translator, Oscar Mandel, himself a playwright, has provided a comprehensive introduction discussing the development of drama in the Middle Ages as well as individual introductions to each of the plays. Comedy of the Middle Ages has its own character, its own strong points, its own limitations. It can be very funny, it is rapid and peppery, but we had better not look to it for acute psychological insights, penetrating criticism of life, philosophical reverberations, or even witty repartee in our sense of the expression. The greatest writers of the time did not write for the stage, and even when serious, the drama was popular and it avoided subtleties. And yet, here and there, something very much like genius winks at us from both the serious and comic drama of these centuries" -- Back cover.
