Book Synopsis Women Making Shakespeare by : Gordon McMullan
Download or read book Women Making Shakespeare written by Gordon McMullan and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Making Shakespeare presents a series of 20-25 short essays that draw on a variety of resources, including interviews with directors, actors, and other performance practitioners, to explore the place (or constitutive absence) of women in the Shakespearean text and in the history of Shakespearean reception - the many ways women, working individually or in communities, have shaped and transformed the reception, performance, and teaching of Shakespeare from the 17th century to the present. The book highlights the essential role Shakespeare's texts have played in the historical development of feminism. Rather than a traditional collection of essays, Women Making Shakespeare brings together materials from diverse resources and uses diverse research methods to create something new and transformative. Among the many women's interactions with Shakespeare to be considered are acting (whether on the professional stage, in film, on lecture tours, or in staged readings), editing, teaching, academic writing, and recycling through adaptations and appropriations (film, novels, poems, plays, visual arts).
Book Synopsis Records of Girlhood by : Valerie Sanders
Download or read book Records of Girlhood written by Valerie Sanders and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to her 2000 anthology, Valerie Sanders again brings together an influential group of women whose autobiographical accounts of their childhoods show them making sense of the children they were and the women they have become. The fourteen women included juxtapose recollections of the bizarre with the quotidian and accounts of external events with the development of a complex inner life. Reading and acting are important themes, as is the precariousness of childhood, whether occasioned by a father's financial pressures or the early death of a parent. Significantly, most grew up expecting to earn their own living. The collection includes children's authors (Frances Hodgson Burnett and E. Nesbit), political figures (Emmeline Pankhurst and Louisa Twining), and well-known writers (Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Anne Thackeray Ritchie, Sarah Grand). Of relevance to scholars working in the fields of women’s autobiography, the history of childhood, and Victorian literature, this anthology includes a scholarly introduction and brief biographical sketches of each woman.

Book Synopsis Remediating Shakespeare in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries by : Howard Marchitello
Download or read book Remediating Shakespeare in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries written by Howard Marchitello and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remediating Shakespeare in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries analyzes literary remediations of Shakespeare’s works, particularly those written for young readers. This book explores adaptations, revisions, and reimaginings by Lewis Theobald, the Bowdlers, the Lambs, and Mary Cowden Clarke, among others, to provide a theoretical account of the poetics and practices of remediating literary texts. Considering the interplay between the historical fascination with Shakespeare and these practices of adaptation, this book examines the endless attempt to mediate our relationship to Shakespeare. Howard Marchitello investigates the motivations behind various forms of remediation, ultimately expanding theories of literary adaptation and appropriation.

Book Synopsis Poel, Granville Barker, Guthrie, Wanamaker by : Cary M. Mazer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All four figures in this volume have been canonized as central to 'stage-centred' Shakespearean scholarship and stage practice. From William Poel's reproductions of early modern stages in the late nineteenth century to Sam Wanamaker's reconstruction of the Globe on London's South Bank, they all viewed Shakespeare's plays as being enmeshed in the social and historical dynamics of theatremaking and theatregoing. The volume considers how their attempts to recapture early modern performance conditions can be considered progressive.

Book Synopsis Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Auden, Beckett by : Adrian Poole
Download or read book Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Auden, Beckett written by Adrian Poole and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four writers featured in this volume represent different aspects of the modernist response to Shakespeare. James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden and Samuel Beckett were all exceptionally learned and their art takes a delight in difficulty. But the scurrility, irreverence and playfulness they found in Shakespeare are essential features of what they themselves were to do with him. They were particularly drawn to Shakespeare's outcasts, and to the experiences of marginality, estrangement, indigence and craziness. In return they have helped to shape the ways in which we now read Shakespeare himself.
