Download or read book Saki's Plays written by Saki and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.

Book excerpt: The complete works of one of England's greatest Edwardian writers Saki is perhaps the most graceful spokesman for England's 'Golden Afternoon' - the slow and peaceful years before the First World War. Although, like so many of his generation, he died tragically young, in action on the Western Front, his reputation as a writer continued to grow long after his death. His work is humorous, satiric, supernatural, and macabre, highly individual, full of eccentric wit and unconventional situations. With his great gift as a social satirist of his contemporary upper-class Edwardian world, Saki is one of the few undisputed English masters of the short story and one of the great writers of a bygone era. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Download or read book Reading Saki written by Brian Gibson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a thorough critical re-examination of the Edwardian master of the darkly humorous short story, Saki (the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro, 1870-1916). Saki the satirist constantly rebelled against but depended upon the world of H.H. Munro, the gentleman bachelor. In reassessing the importance of post-Wilde sexuality, anti-suffragist feelings, and attitudes towards Jews and Slavs in Saki's oeuvre, it becomes clear that the fiction of Saki reflects a fervid imperial masculinity in Britain as World War I approached. The tension between rebellious sexual politics and pro-patriarchy, nationalist views in Saki's fiction reflects a time when the old, manly, bourgeois traditions of coming home from work to "the angel of the hearth" and defending King and Country abroad increasingly clashed with new sexual identities, women's agitation for the vote, and the growing presence of non-British Others in the public imagination.

Download or read book The Unbearable Saki written by Sandie Byrne and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saki is the acknowledged master of the short story. His writing is elegant, economical, and witty, its tone worldly, flippant irreverence delivered in astringent exchanges and epigrams more neat, pointed, and poised even than Wilde's. The deadpan narrative voice allows for the unsentimental recitation of horrors and the comically grotesque, and the generation of guilty laughter at some very un-pc statements. Saki's short stories have been much reprinted as well as adapted for radio, stage, and television, but his novels, The Unbearable Bassington and When William Came, are almost unknown, his journalism and travel writing forgotten, and his plays rarely performed. Sandie Byrne argues that his reputation has been unfairly overshadowed by his predecessor Oscar Wilde, contemporary George Bernard Shaw, and successors P.G. Wodehouse and Evelyn Waugh. In a well-meaning introduction to the Penguin Complete Saki, Noël Coward reinforced the received image of Saki's work as celebrating an Edwardian or even Victorian milieu of privilege, luxury, and affectation; comedies of manners and light satire. Byrne shows that Saki's writing was no nostalgic evocation of a lost golden age, and that he was rarely concerned with the charm and delight Coward describes. His preoccupations were with England, the values of Empire, and the dangerous beauty of the feral ephebe. The threat to the first two of these triggered his alleged metamorphosis from cosmopolitan cynic and dandy-about-town to patriotic, even jingoistic, NCO, in a manner worthy of his blackest humour.

Download or read book The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated) written by Saki and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 1334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saki's 'The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated)' is a collection of satirical and witty short stories that encapsulate the world of Edwardian England. Known for his dark humor and clever wordplay, Saki's stories often poke fun at the pretensions and absurdities of the upper class. Each tale is rich in irony and sarcasm, making for a humorous yet thought-provoking read. The illustrations included in this edition enhance the whimsical and fantastical elements of Saki's writing. These stories provide a glimpse into the social dynamics and values of the time, making them a valuable source for understanding the cultural context of the period. Saki, the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro, was a British writer known for his unique blend of humor and social commentary. With a background in journalism and firsthand experience of the social elite, Saki's observations of Edwardian society are both incisive and entertaining. His tragic death during World War I cut short a promising literary career, but his legacy lives on in the timeless wit of his stories. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated)' to readers who appreciate sharp wit, clever storytelling, and an exploration of the quirks of human nature. Saki's satirical tales will delight and challenge anyone looking for a witty and engaging read.
