Book Synopsis Four Comedies (Classic Reprint) by : Carlo Goldoni
Download or read book Four Comedies (Classic Reprint) written by Carlo Goldoni and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Comedies He had undertaken a big task. He had set himself to over throw a tough-rooted tradition. He was at war with the famous Commedia dell' Arte. For although she had little dramatic literature, all Italy buzzed with plays. An author devised a plot and pinned it somewhere in the wings of the theatre. The comedians perused it, learned the names by which they were to address each other, and then, supported by a few set speeches for given situations, walked on to the stage and improvised the dialogue. The persons in these plays had long ago solidified into types, and the actors presented them in conventional masks. Goldoni's theatre, like Moli'ere's, arose from this ancient tradition; and intermittently through out the long pageant of his dramatic works (they number about three hundred) its familiar figures recur - Harlequin now turning a toe, Pantaloon now wagging a beard. Some critics, indeed, consider that in 'the Fan (one of our plays) the old types attain their perfection. In cfi'ect, however, Goldoni - striving against violent and protracted opposition - hunted these puppets from the stage and replaced them with figures drawn from life.

Book Synopsis Four Comedies by : William Shakespeare
Download or read book Four Comedies written by William Shakespeare and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew Robust and bawdy, The Taming of the Shrew captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills–and love–with her bridegroom, Petruchio, in a comedy of unmatched theatrical brilliance, filled with visual gags and witty repartee. A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood turn the mismatched rivalries of four young lovers into a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment, all touched by Shakespeare’s inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between dreams and the waking world. The Merchant of Venice This dark comedy of love and money contains one of the truly mythic figures in literature–Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. The “pound of flesh” he demands as payment of Antonio’s debt has become a universal metaphor for vengeance. Here, pathos and farce combine with moral complexity and romantic entanglements, to display the extraordinary power and range of Shakespeare at his best. Twelfth Night Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy juxtaposes a romantic plot involving separated twins and mistaken identity with a more satiric one about the humiliation of a pompous killjoy. The hilarity is touched with melancholy, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s plaintive song. Each Edition Includes: • Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography

Book Synopsis The New York Idea by : Langdon Elwyn Mitchell
Download or read book The New York Idea written by Langdon Elwyn Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Idea: A Comedy in Four Acts It is interesting to note, by the way, a return on Mr. Mitchell's part to that convenient assumption of the Restoration and eighteenth century comedy writers that any one in holy orders could solemnize a legal marriage at any time or place, without the slightest formality of banns, witnesses, registration or anything of the sort. One gathers that in New York the entrance to and the exit from the holy estate of matrimony are equally prompt and easy or that, as one of the characters puts it, the church is a regular quick-marriage counter. I presume there is some exaggeration in this, and that a marriage cannot actually be celebrated at midnight, over a champagne-and-lobster supper, by a clergyman who happened to drop in. But there can be no doubt that whatever the social merits or demerits of the system facility of divorce and remarriage is an immense boon to the dramatist: It places within his reach an inexhaustible store of situations and complications which are barred to the English playwright, to whom divorce always means an ugly and painful scandal. The moralist may insist that this Ought always to be the case and indeed that is the implication which Mr. Mitchell, as a moralist, con veys to us.

Download or read book Classical Comedy written by Aristophanes and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fifth to the second century BC, innovative comedy drama flourished in Greece and Rome. This collection brings together the greatest works of Classical comedy, with two early Greek plays: Aristophanes' bold, imaginative Birds, and Menander's The Girl from Samos, which explores popular contemporary themes of mistaken identity and sexual misbehaviour; and two later Roman comic plays: Plautus' The Brothers Menaechmus - the original comedy of errors - and Terence's bawdy yet sophisticated double love-plot, The Eunuch. Together, these four plays demonstrate the development of Classical comedy, celebrating its richness, variety and extraordinary legacy to modern drama.
