Book Synopsis The Censorship of Eighteenth-Century Theatre by : David O'Shaughnessy
Download or read book The Censorship of Eighteenth-Century Theatre written by David O'Shaughnessy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection reveals the wide-ranging impact of the Stage Licensing Act of 1737 on literary and theatrical culture in Georgian Britain. Demonstrating the differing motivations of the state in censoring public performances of plays after the Stage Licensing Act of 1737 and until the Theatres Act 1843, chapters cover a wide variety of theatrical genres across a century and show how the mechanisms of formal censorship operated under the Lord Chamberlain's Examiner of Plays. They also explore the effects of informal censorship, whereby playwrights, audiences and managers internalized the censorship regime. As such, the volume moves beyond a narrow focus on erasures and emendations visible on manuscripts to elucidate censorship's wide-ranging significance across the long eighteenth century. Demonstrating theatre archives' potency as a resource for historical research, this volume is of exceptional value for researchers interested in the evolving complexities of Georgian society, its politics and mores.

Book Synopsis Apocalypse and Anti-Catholicism in Seventeenth-Century English Drama by : Adrian Streete
Download or read book Apocalypse and Anti-Catholicism in Seventeenth-Century English Drama written by Adrian Streete and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the many and varied uses of apocalyptic and anti-Catholic language in seventeenth-century English drama. Adrian Streete argues that this rhetoric is not simply an expression of religious bigotry, nor is it only deployed at moments of political crisis. Rather, it is an adaptable and flexible language with national and international implications. It offers a measure of cohesion and order in a volatile century. By rethinking the relationship between theatre, theology and polemic, Streete shows how playwrights exploited these connections for a diverse range of political ends. Chapters focus on playwrights like Marston, Middleton, Massinger, Shirley, Dryden and Lee, and on a range of topics including imperialism, reason of state, commerce, prostitution, resistance, prophecy, church reform and liberty. Drawing on important recent work in religious and political history, this is a major re-interpretation of how and why religious ideas are debated in the early modern theatre.

Download or read book The Hamlets written by Paul Menzer and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While differences among the three early texts of Hamlet have been considered in terms of interpretive consequences, The Hamlets instead considers practical issues in the playhouses of early modern London. It examines how Shakespeare's company operated, how they may have treated the authorial text, what the actor's needs might have been, and how the three texts may be manifestations of the play's life in the theater. By studying cue-line variation in the three texts, the book introduces a unique method of analysis and constructs for Hamlet a new narrative of authorial, textual, and playhouse practices that challenges the customary assumptions about the transmission of Shakespeare's most textually troubling play."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Travel and Conflict in the Early Modern World by : Gábor Gelléri
Download or read book Travel and Conflict in the Early Modern World written by Gábor Gelléri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection examines the meeting points between travel, mobility, and conflict to uncover the experience of travel – whether real or imagined – in the early modern world. Until relatively recently, both domestic travel and voyages to the wider world remained dangerous undertakings. Physical travel, whether initiated by religious conversion and pilgrimage, diplomacy, trade, war, or the desire to encounter other cultures, inevitably heralded disruption: contact zones witnessed cultural encounters that were not always cordial, despite the knowledge acquisition and financial gain that could be reaped from travel. Vast compendia of travel such as Hakluyt’s Principla Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries, printed from the late sixteenth century, and Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages (1746-1759) underscored European exploration as a marker of European progress, and in so doing showed the tensions that can arise as a consequence of interaction with other cultures. In focusing upon language acquisition and translation, travel and religion, travel and politics, and imaginary travel, the essays in this collection tease out the ways in which travel was both obstructed and enriched by conflict.

Book Synopsis Queering Childhood in Early Modern English Drama and Culture by : Jennifer Higginbotham
Download or read book Queering Childhood in Early Modern English Drama and Culture written by Jennifer Higginbotham and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes early modern cultural representations of children and childhood through the literature and drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Contributors include leading international scholars of the English Renaissance whose essays consider asexuals and sodomites, roaring girls and schoolboys, precocious princes and raucous tomboys, boy actors and female apprentices, while discussing a broad array of topics, from animal studies to performance theory, from queer time to queer fat, from teaching strategies to casting choices, and from metamorphic sex changes to rape and cannibalism. The collection interrogates the cultural and historical contingencies of childhood in an effort to expose, theorize, historicize, and explicate the spectacular queerness of early modern dramatic depictions of children.
Book Synopsis Representations of Flemish Immigrants on the Early Modern Stage by : Peter Matthew McCluskey
Download or read book Representations of Flemish Immigrants on the Early Modern Stage written by Peter Matthew McCluskey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrants from the Low Countries constituted the largest population of resident aliens in early modern England. Possessing superior technology in a number of fields and enjoying governmental protection, the Flemish were charged by many native artisans with unfair economic competition. With xenophobic sentiments running so high that riots and disorders occurred throughout the sixteenth century, Elizabeth I directed her dramatic censor to suppress material that might incite further disorder, forcing playwrights to develop strategies to address the alien problem indirectly. Representations of Flemish Immigrants on the Early Modern Stage describes the immigrant community during this period and explores the consistently negative representations of Flemish immigrants in Tudor interludes, the impact of censorship, the playwrighting strategies that eluded it, and the continuation of these methods until the closing of the theatres in 1642.
Book Synopsis Renaissance Drama 34 by : Jeffrey Masten
Download or read book Renaissance Drama 34 written by Jeffrey Masten and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Drama, an annual and interdisciplinary publication, is devoted to drama and performance as a central feature of Renaissance culture. The essays in each volume explore traditional canons of drama, the significance of performance (broadly construed) to early modern culture, and the impact of new forms of interpretation on the study of Renaissance plays, theatre, and performance. This issue of Renaissance Drama, devoted to the topic of "Media, Technology, and Performance" is co-edited by W.B. Worthen, Wendy Wall, and Jeffrey Masten. The various articles displayed here address the interface between drama and its various modes of production over the past four centuries. This volume explores the relationship of drama to other forms of early modern spectacle (pageantry, masques), to the specificities of typography and the economics of the book industry, to the intersection of drama with film and DVD production, and to the way that stage technologies and theatrical economies of the 16th, 17th and 20th centuries define plays and playing. Rather than thinking of the early modern text as something simply reconstituted in its different incarnations, these essays make clear that different media force a rethinking of the terms that we use to envision, conceptualize, and even to see the work of drama.
