Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern French Drama That modern England possessed a stage, supported by dramatic writers of ability, independence, and originality. When the papers on the English Stage first appeared in book form, I asked M. Filon to do something of the same kind of service for English readers as he had already done for his kinsmen across the Channel, and illustrate in the pages of the Fortnightly Review some of the main principles and tendencies underlying the contemporary drama in Paris. The conditions in the two cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Drama of France This volume offers a survey and an interpretation of the French drama for three decades, from the opening of the Theatre-Libre of Antoine to the conclusion of the World War. It attempts the classification, analysis, and criticism of a thousand plays by two hundred and thirty authors. Among these are included a few Belgians whose pieces, written in French, have been as familiar to Paris as to Brussels. Although the productions of the period be less striking than those of the Romantic era, and less likely than those of the Classic to endure, they are more numerous and more vitally interesting to the generation whose failures, foibles, and aspirations they depict. Thus far, only one book in English has been exclusively devoted to this subject - the succinct and suggestive Contemporary French Dramatists (1915) of Barrett H. Clark, which considers a dozen major playwrights, yet essays no history of current French drama as a whole.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brieux and Contemporary French Society HE purpose of this book is to explain to Ameri can readers the social themes treated by Eugene Brieux in his dramas and their relation to French society. I realize very well that such an undertaking is not easy; the difficulties in any attempt to estimate contemporary foreign litera ture are many and real. It is always hazardous to judge contemporary writers, and French literature is possibly even more baffling than that of most countries for a foreigner to criticize. At least Renan declared that the essential characteristic of the French genius was not to be well under stood abroad; and Henry Bidou has recently asserted that it is stupefying to read what a foreigner will write when discussing French litera ture. Yet the attempt to explain Brieux seems justified in view of the great demand for the few available books on him and on such contemporaries of his as Ibsen, Strindberg, and Shaw.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Pierre De Touche: A Comedy Modern French playwrights commit another literary sin which stands in an odd paradoxical relation to the sin of preaching out of place. They deal, to sickening excess, with subjects and characters which, it is to be hoped, do not yet fill so large a space in French life as they do in French books. Let us take them at their word when they say that their purpose is to represent life as it really is. Are one-third of the women in France adventuresses? Certainly not; yet adventuresses make up about one-third of the number of female characters in modern French plays and novels. Is the subject of adultery and amorous in trigue the main occupation of French minds? Let us hope not; yet in these books there are scarcely more than two subjects seriously considered. The first, and chief one, is vice of this sort the second is the relation between the old nobility of blood and the new oligarchy of money.

Download or read book Chief Contemporary Dramatists, Second Series written by Thomas Herbert Dickinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chief Contemporary Dramatists, Second Series: Eighteen Plays From the Recent Drama of England, Ireland, America, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Scandinavia This volume contains eighteen complete plays from the drama of England, Ireland, the United States, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Scandinavian countries. Together with the first volume of Chief Contemporary Dramatists, issued in 1915, there are now made available in convenient form thirty-eight plays of the first order of excellence from the theater of Europe and America. In the choice of plays the term contemporary has been interpreted strictly. Of the eighteen plays in this book, ene third were produced in the decade between 1910 and 1920; all save three are prod ucts of the twentieth century. Of these works six have not before been published in English and are here made available for the first time in America. Comparing the plays in this volume with those which constituted the first series of Chief Contemporary Dramatists, some interesting tendencies in the theater of the western world are disclosed. While the thesis or problem play, derived from France and enforced by Ibsen, was predominant in the eighteen-nineties and the earlier years of the new cen tury, the form disappears as the century approaches its second decade. The present volume contains no single distinct exemplar of this type of play. The result Of the freeing of the play from the necessity of being socially serviceable has been greatly to enrich the theater With new interests both in structure and content, and to call into the craft of play making men from arts outside the theater.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chief Contemporary Dramatists: Twenty Plays From the Recent Drama of England, Ireland, America, Germany, France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, and Russia This volume contains complete plays by Wilde, Pinero, Jones, Galsworthy, Barker, Yeats, Syoge, Lady Gregory, Fitch, Moody, Thomas. MacKaye, Hauptmann, Sudermami, Brieuz, Hervieu, Biaeterlindc Bjmson, Strindberg, and Tchekhov. It has not been found possible to include plays by Barrie and Shaw, but as, in the opinion of the editor, they cannot be ignored in making a list of the chief contemporary dnunatists, materiab for the study of these writers have been included in the notes. Hie term Contemporary as used in the title of this volume requires definition. The primazy intention in the issuing of Chief Contemporary Dramatists has been to provide irithin reasonable compass a series of plays which would as nearly as possible represent th abidiDg achievements of the present dramatic era. Naturally there was required, if this representative character was to be secured, a better basis of choice than that provided by the accidental collocation of plays that may have got themselves written within a certain arbitrary period. Diligent study enforces the conviction that there is to be found in the drama of the last generation a unity that is little dependent upon the accidents of time, and finds ezpresnon in the living formula of the play itself. In other words, a dramatic movement of recent times has now so nearly reached a culmination that it provides its own basis for discrimination. Tio Bmovement, roughly speaking, may be said to find its source in the woik of Ibsen, and to be connected with him, either directly through the stress of his particular technique and mteresta, or indirectly through his renovating influence on the theater as a social and 9 ft mstnunent. Tliere is here a unity that transcends that of dates. It remains to apply the principles of this unity to the selection of plays, and to find an acceptable term by which thia unity may be denominated. The term Contemporaiy is chosen to represent the unit underlying this era in the same way that the term Elizabethan is made to do service for the large mass of plays written during the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles. This usage bto-day so well accepted that when one speaks of Elizabethan, he is known to refer not only to the years comprised in the reign of Elizabeth, but to the solid mass of historical connotation that attaches to that name. In the ame way it is thought that the term Contemporary may serve as a convenient handle to denominate an era, not yet complete, though in all probability nearing maturity, in which there may be found all the signs of an inherent solidity. In the choice of plays there is a positive advantage in laying dq)endence upon the salient characteristics of a clearly defined movement rather than !qon the chances of the output of a certain period. The characteristics by which the era of Ibsen is identified are mainly two: its adherence to the naturalistic tendency mellowed to the motives of the humanities; and, on the side of production and organization, a tendency toward the reorganization of the theater to a nearer alignment to the social terms of the age. These provide bases of inclusion and exclusion which make it possible to overlook many of the dilemmas of date. How serious these dilemmas are is seen in the fact that there are still being written excellent plays which belong to the time of Scribe; on the other hand, that there were written a generation ago plays which for subject-matter and technique attach themselves to the oresent period.
