Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of John O'keeffe, Esq., Vol. 3 of 4: Published Under the Gracious Patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Who wrote this play fome might be glad to know. And why a fecret-i'll attempt to fhew A certain youth, his name-no matter what, Refolv'd to try if he could act or not, And to be feen by all, by none be known, Fixt on this project to deceive the town, Cautious, or voice, or feature to expofe, Poor Mungo was the part our Novice chofe. He locks his door, and fmears his face with cork, Looks in the glafs, laughs, and admires his works He dances, fings, and all (0 like a black, An elbow chair, the hamper on his back; Aiks of the manager to take a trial, And fpouting decent, meets with no denial. Up go the bills, the Padlock now the farce is, So careful, even in black face he rehearfes Curious to know who this fame firanger is, We fcan each tone and trace the footy phiz. It's Mr. This-lord that-conjecture, doubt, Not one of us can make the younker out. T he houfe is full, behind the culprit flands, Now fear appalls, now hope his breaft expands; Peeps thro' the curtain, trembling cons his part, The prompter's bell now {trikes upon his heart. OE plays the Overture; the piece begun Up goes his hamper, Mungo marches on He bows-confus'd, the loud applaufe he hears, A generous public difiipates his fears, Encouragement draws forth his latent powers.

Download or read book Women in Wartime written by Paula R. Backscheider and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory history of the characters that playwrights and managers created out of the real lives of women in intimate relationships with military men to serve Great Britain's greatest needs during the war-saturated eighteenth century. During the long eighteenth century, Great Britain was almost continuously at war. As the era unfolded, the theatre gradually discovered the potential in having actresses, recently introduced to the stage in the 1660s, perform as wartime women characters. As playwrights and managers began casting women in transformative roles to meet each major national need, female characters came to be central figures in bringing the war home to the nation, transforming them into deeply patriotic British subjects. Paula Backscheider's Women in Wartime is the first study of theatrical representations of women with intimate connections to military men. Drawing upon her extensive expertise in gender, performance studies, popular culture, and archival studies, Backscheider traces the rise of the London theatre's acceptance that one of its responsibilities was to support its country's wars. Rather than focusing on the historical, mythical "warrior women" on the battlefield who have been much studied, Backscheider explores the lives and work of sweethearts, wives, mothers, sisters, barmaids, provision sellers, seaport prostitutes, and more, whose relationships to active-duty men made them recruits, volunteers, or even conscripts. They represent a distinct group of thousands of real women, and the actresses who portrayed them gave performances of change, struggle, celebration, mourning, survival, love, and patriotism. Backscheider explicates more than fifty plays—from main pieces, short farces, interludes, afterpieces, and comic operas to entr'actes, pantomimes, and even masques—as both entertainment and as ideological and propagandistic vehicles in times of severe crises. She also reveals how these works, many written by men with military experience, attest to the context of difficult, inescapable realities and momentous needs. Through the debunking of sexual stereotypes and attention to audience-pleasing roles such as impoverished-wife and breeches parts, Backscheider adds a dimension to theatrical history that substantially contributes to women's and military histories. Women in Wartime demonstrates the startling acuity and prescience of the repertoire in responding to the war-steeped culture of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer design and architectural historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice. Historians and theorists working within a range of disciplinary contexts and historiographical traditions are turning to biography as means of exploring and accounting for social, cultural and material change - and this volume reflects that turn, representing the fields of architectural and design history, social history, literary history, creative writing and design practice. Topics include masters and servants in eighteenth-century English kitchens; the lost interiors of Oscar Wilde's 'House Beautiful'; Elsa Schiaparelli's Surrealist spaces; Jean Genet, outlaws, and the interiors of marginality; and architect Lina Bo Bardi's 'Glass House', S?Paulo, Brazil.
