COMPARATIVE DRAMA First complete and fully annotated collection of John Heywood's plays in the original language. It makes possible a reevaluation ofhis remarkable achievement as actor-playwright and an appreciation of his lively contribution to the English language. In all their experimental variety the comedies are seen to have the stamp of an idiosyncratic, theatricalintelligence coupled with a surprising seriousness and Heywood emerges as a resourceful apologist for traditional Catholic doctrine in a time of Reformation. In arguing for a new chronology, the editors suggest that Henry VIII'sservant and entertainer was capable of refreshing irreverence and political daring.

Book Synopsis The Collected Works of Thomas Heywood by : Thomas Heywood
Download or read book The Collected Works of Thomas Heywood written by Thomas Heywood and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Works of Thomas Heywood is the first complete authoritative edition of his impressively large canon of plays, masques, pageants, poetry and prose works. Heywood claimed to have had 'an entire hand, or at least a maine finger' in two hundred and twenty plays. Although he appeared to consider the possibility, the plays in his 'entire hand' were not printed in a collected Folio edition during or shortly after his lifetime, as were the works of his contemporaries and colleagues Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, and Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. The first and only edition of selected plays, The Dramatic Works of Thomas Heywood, was produced in 1874 in six volumes by R. H. Shepherd but has been out of print for over one hundred and fifty years. G. Blakemore Evans's collected edition, announced in 1948, never appeared. Some individual plays by Heywood have been edited in the Revels, New Mermaid, Regents' Renaissance Drama, Arden and other series. However, most of Heywood's works remain out of print

Book Synopsis Constructing the Canon of Early Modern Drama by : Jeremy Lopez
Download or read book Constructing the Canon of Early Modern Drama written by Jeremy Lopez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For one hundred years the drama of Shakespeare's contemporaries has been consistently represented in anthologies, edited texts, and the critical tradition by a familiar group of about two dozen plays running from Kyd's Spanish Tragedy to Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore by way of Dekker, Jonson, Middleton and Webster. How was this canon created, and what ideological and institutional functions does it serve? What preceded it, and is it possible for it to become something else? Jeremy Lopez takes up these questions by tracing a history of anthologies of 'non-Shakespearean' drama from Robert Dodsley's Select Collection of Old Plays (1744) through those recently published by Blackwell, Norton, and Routledge. Containing dozens of short, provocative readings of unfamiliar plays, this book will benefit those who seek a broader sense of the period's dazzling array of forms.

Download or read book John Heywood written by Greg Walker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Heywood was an important literary and theatrical pioneer in his own right, but he is also a revealing lens through which to view the wider tumultuous history of the sixteenth century. He was, through the period from the mid-1520s to the 1560s, as near to a celebrity as Tudor England possessed, famed for his 'merry' persona and good humour. But his public image concealed a deeper engagement with religious and political history. Enduringly resistant to extremism, he variously entertained, counselled, and cautioned his readers and audiences through four reigns, finding himself, as regimes changed and religious policies shifted, successively celebrated, marginalised, anathematised, condemned to death, recuperated, and celebrated once more before finally retreating into exile on the Continent in 1564. He produced plays at the courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth, performed and taught keyboard music, wrote lyric poetry and songs, and from the mid-sixteenth century turned to collecting and publishing highly successful volumes of proverbs and epigrams for which he was remembered well into the seventeenth century. Each of these works provides a subtle, often courageously critical engagement with the politics of its moment. To study Heywood's career takes us beyond the clichés of popular history, beyond Shakespeare and the Elizabethan playhouses, beyond the canonical Henrician court poets and the writers of the Elizabethan 'Golden Age', beyond even the experiences of the century's chief ministers, intellectuals, and martyrs, to a theatrical and literary world less visible in the conventional sources. It opens a window on a culture in which the actions of monarchs, their councillors, and their victims were witnessed and reflected upon at one remove from the centres of power. And it allows us to re-examine the significance of an individual who deserves our attention, not only for his considerable artistic achievements, but also for the determination with which, often against the odds, he used his talents in pursuit of wider humanist cultural principles for over half a century.
