Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic and Poetical Works of Joanna Baillie: Complete in One Volume The life of Joanna Baillie contained un usually few incidents of an exciting or eventful nature. She lived in retirement from the first hour to the last. She was nu married, and her sole constant companion was a sister likewise unmarried. The only circumstances which distinguished one day from another, apart from her literary career, were domestic matters or changes of locality, and these were few. She was connected with celebrity solely by a genius, which shed light on contemporary time, and far into the future. The quietude, however, of her existence renders more extraordinary the nature of its result. From her serene seclusion she sur veyed the wide and restless expanse of the human soul, she penetrated to its deepest and darkest recesses, was present to situa tions and emotions remote as possible from her own; and embodied a vast variety of con ceptions in creations co-existent thenceforth with the language of this country. The most prominent events of her life, traits illustrative of her character, of the dawn and develop ment of her genius, with the more important circumstances of her literary career, can alone interest the public mind.

Book Synopsis Women's Romantic Theatre and Drama by : Keir Elam
Download or read book Women's Romantic Theatre and Drama written by Keir Elam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As theatre and drama of the Romantic Period undergo a critical reassessment among scholars internationally, the contributions of women as playwrights, actresses, and managers are also being revalued. This volume, which brings together leading British, North American, and Italian critics, is a crucial step towards reclaiming the importance of women's dramatic and theatrical activities during the period. Writing for the theatre implied assuming a public role, a hazardous undertaking for women who, especially after the French Revolution, were assigned to the private, primarily domestic, sphere. As the contributors examine the covert strategies women used to become full participants in the public theatre, they shed light on the issue of women's agency, expressed both through the writing of highly politicized or ethicized drama, as in the case of Elizabeth Inchbald or Joanna Baillie, and through women's professional practice as theatre managers and stage producers, as in the case of Elizabeth Vestris and Jane Scott. Among the topics considered are women's history plays, domesticity, ethics and sexuality in women's closet drama, the politics of drama and performance, and the role of women as managers and producers. Specialists in performance studies, Romantic Period drama, and women's writing will find the essays both challenging and inspiring.

Book Synopsis Shelley's Radical Stages by : Dana Van Kooy
Download or read book Shelley's Radical Stages written by Dana Van Kooy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dana Van Kooy draws critical attention to Percy Bysshe Shelley as a dramatist and argues that his dramas represent a critical paradigm of romanticism in which history is 'staged'. Reading Shelley's dramas as a series of radical stages - historical reenactments and theatrical reproductions - Van Kooy highlights the cultural significance of the drama and the theatre in shaping and contesting constructions of both the sovereign nation and the global empire in the post-Napoleonic era. This book is about the power of performance to challenge and reformulate cultural memories that were locked in historical narratives and in Britain's theatrical repertoire. It examines each of Shelley's dramas as a specific radical stage that reformulates the familiar cultural performances of war, revolution, slavery and domestic tyranny. Shelley's plays invite audiences to step away from these horrors and to imagine their lives as something other than a tragedy or a melodrama where characters are entrapped in cycles of violence or struck blind or silent by fear. Although Shelley's dramas are few in number they engage a larger cultural project of aesthetic and political reform that constituted a groundswell of activism that took place during the Romantic period.

Download or read book Women's Gothic written by E. J. Clery and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female writers of the Gothic were hell-raisers in more than one sense: not only did they specialize in evoking scenes of horror, cruelty, and supernaturalism, but in doing so they exploded the literary conventions of the day, and laid claim to realms of the imagination hitherto reserved for men. They were rewarded with popular success, large profits, and even critical adulation. E.J. Clery's acclaimed study tells the strange but true story of women's gothic. She identifies contemporary fascination with the operation of the passions and the example of the great tragic actress Sarah Siddons as enabling factors, and then examines in depth the careers of two pioneers of the genre, Clara Reeve and Sophie Lee, its reigning queen, Ann Radcliffe, and the daring experimentalists Joanna Baillie and Charlotte Dacre. The account culminates with Mary Shelley, whose Frankenstein (1818) has attained mythical status. Students and scholars as well as general readers will find Women's Gothic a stimulating introductio
