Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramana: A Romance of the Stage Ah, how true are the words of the Bard of Avon! All the world is a stage for the many and varied scenes of comedy and tragedy, of melodrama and farce. Actors of to-day are striving for truism, for realism. Acting, appealing to the differ ent emotions of man, is regarded as one of the fine arts, and is rightly classed so. The tragedies of life are in themselves too realistic, and, to think of it, there is very little comedy in a worldly existence. Yet why should man cry out against the tragedies in life? Sorrows must come. The Great One so ordained it. The dark clouds have their silver linings and the great shadows only in tensify the more the glorious golden sun shine.

Book Synopsis Maternity and Romance Narratives in Early Modern England by : Karen Bamford
Download or read book Maternity and Romance Narratives in Early Modern England written by Karen Bamford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though recent scholarship has focused both on motherhood and on romance literature in early modern England, until now, no full length volume has addressed the notable intersections between the two topics. This collection contributes to the scholarly investigation of maternity in early modern England by scrutinizing romance narratives in various forms, considering motherhood not as it was actually lived, but as it was figured in the fantasy world of romance by authors ranging from Edmund Spenser to Margaret Cavendish. Contributors explore the traditional association between romance and women, both as readers of fiction and as tellers of ’old wives’ tales,’ as well as the tendency of romance plots, with their emphasis on the family and its reproduction, to foreground matters of maternity. Collectively, the essays in this volume invite reflection on the uses to which Renaissance culture put maternal stereotypes (the virgin mother, the cruel step-dame), as well as the powerful fears and desires that mothers evoke, assuage and sometimes express in the fantasy world of romance.

Book Synopsis Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage by : Andrew Bozio
Download or read book Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage written by Andrew Bozio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage argues that environment and embodied thought continually shaped one another in the performance of early modern English drama. It demonstrates this, first, by establishing how characters think through their surroundings — not only how they orient themselves within unfamiliar or otherwise strange locations, but also how their environs function as the scaffolding for perception, memory, and other forms of embodied thought. It then contends that these moments of thinking through place theorise and thematise the work that playgoers undertook in reimagining the stage as the setting of the dramatic fiction. By tracing the relationship between these two registers of thought in such plays as The Malcontent, Dido Queen of Carthage, Tamburlaine, King Lear, The Knight of the Burning Pestle, and Bartholomew Fair, this book shows that drama makes visible the often invisible means by which embodied subjects acquire a sense of their surroundings. It also reveals how, in doing so, theatre altered the way that playgoers perceived, experienced, and imagined place in early modern England.
Book Synopsis Disguise on the Early Modern English Stage by : Peter Hyland
Download or read book Disguise on the Early Modern English Stage written by Peter Hyland and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disguise devices figure in many early modern English plays and an examination of them clearly affords an important reflection on the growth of early theatre as well as on important aspects of the developing nation. In this study, Hyland examines various conceptual and practical issues that provide a background to theatrical disguise and goes on to consider a range of plays under three broad headings: moral issues, social issues, and aesthetic issues.
Book Synopsis Romance (Classic Reprint) by : Edward Sheldon
Download or read book Romance (Classic Reprint) written by Edward Sheldon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romance The Bishop's library in Washington Square. The two walls meet back at a wide angle. At right are two windows, with heavy curtains drawn. At left is a large fireplace and white marble mantel and, above it, a door. There are high bookcases running up to the ceiling, set in both walls, wherever there is any space. In corner at back, where the two walls meet, is a Victrola, of sober mahogany. Before the fireplace, half facing audience is the Bishop's big arm-chair. At right, is a big mahogany table-desk, arranged in an orderly way with electric lamp, telephone, desk-furniture, books, memoranda, files, etc. The chair is behind it, between the windows. The whole room is one of quiet dignity, - slightly old-fashioned in effect, yet very comfortable. It is night. The lamp on the desk is turned on and there is a cheerful wood fire burning. In his arm-chair before the fire sits Bishop Armstrong, a charming, gentle, humorous old man, over seventy years old. At the right, Suzette, a pretty young girl of seventeen, is sitting reading a newspaper. Suzette: - (Reading head-lines) - "Reputation of Skyscraper - Measures." (She yawns) - "Borough President gives to Board of Estimates the Report on Improvement." (Looking up) - Sounds dull, doesn't it? The Bishop: - No - but if you think so, try the next. (Reading) - "President in the West - yesterday's Speech at Cheyenne" - Is that the way you pronounce it? - "Crops, Race Suicide, and Tariff Reform." (Looking up.) It looks dreadfully long! Now, grandpa, speak the truth! Wouldn't you really rather hear Caro Nome on the Victrola? The Bishop: - Well, my dear, perhaps I would. Where's Harry? He said, he said he wanted to speak to me after dinner about something important. Suzette: - (At Victrola) - Oh, he just went out. He'll be back soon. (The record begins) There, grandpa! Isn't that a splendid record? The Bishop: - (Singing.) Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta? Yes, a rather fine voice - who is it? Suzette: - Tetrazzini. The Bishop: - Ah, you should have heard Patti sing this at the Academy in '72 - ! Suzette: - Now, grandpa, I can't help being young and anyway I'm sure that Melba and Destin and Farrar are every bit as good as your Cavillinis and Pattis and Grisis. And as for Caruso - ! The Bishop: - Ah, my dear! I have heard Mario! - (Humming again) - Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta! Now - (He listens) - Ah, well, fair - fair! (With a sigh) After all, there's no one like Verdi. Suzette: - Grandpa? The Bishop: - Yes, dear? Suzette: - (Beguilingly) - Which do you think would be more apt to melt you into a perfectly angelic, Bavarian-cream sort of mood - "O Parigi" from Traviata or the "Sextette" from Lucia!
