Book Synopsis The Oriental in Elizabethan Drama (Classic Reprint) by : Louis Wann
Download or read book The Oriental in Elizabethan Drama (Classic Reprint) written by Louis Wann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oriental in Elizabethan Drama The first thing that strikes us in glancing at this summary is the great predominance of serious plays. The tragedies and conqueror plays in themselves number 28, and if we add 3 of the plays of travel and adventure, Stukeley, The Battle of Alcazar, and A Christian Turned Turk, which are also tragedies in a different form, we have 31 plays out of 47 which are essentially tragic in nature. Of the remaining third, 16 in number, 5 are tragi-comedies and 4 are plays of travel and adventure of a tragi-comic nature. Only 4 out of the whole number merit classification under the lighter head of dramatic romances, comedies, and masques. Even here, the tragi-comic ele ment in The Merchant of Venice, the only extant play of the group, hardly justifies us in separating it from the other tragi - comedies. And while it is probable that the three non-extant plays of this group were really in a somewhat lighter vein than the average tragi comedy, we know too little of them to justify us in concluding that we have here a group which, in any real sense, merits classification under the comic as opposed to the serious type of drama. Of three plays we know nothing of the type, though it is likely that Vayvode was a conqueror play or tragedy similar to Scanderbeg, treating of the long struggle between one Of the Vayvodes of Wallachia and the Ottoman Turks.

Book Synopsis The Way of Yu-Soo by : William T. Demarest
Download or read book The Way of Yu-Soo written by William T. Demarest and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way of Yu-Soo: A Play in the Chinese Style When the play is about to begin Property M an appears between curtains bearing Chinese gong, which he strikes three times slowly at center of stage, in front of curtains, three times L. And three times R. He stands R. As Chorus appears between curtains, stands at center and addresses audience. Chorus: Exalted friends, I humbly crave your par don for forcing myself upon your august attention. I bow to Heaven, Earth and Man. (bonus to right, left and center, saying as he does so) I bow, I bow, I bow. It is my honorable pleasure to tell you the theme of our poor play, which deals not with Emperors, Lords, or otherwise exalted personages, but with honorable and ordinary individuals such as I who weary your sublime ears. Ours is a story of filial duty and great love. Yoursympathies will be honorably commanded by our hero, and your eyes will fill with tears as you behold his sor rows and perplexities. You will be moved to sublime anger by our heroine, although you will be certain to admire her. I humbly ask you to remember, before your condemnation is complete, that even in our Celestial King dom a maiden must dissemble, covering exalted emotions with bitter, scornful words. You will not find your august minds in sympathy with our two mothers; but our customs are not as yours. With us mothers still have authority, and, especially when they are happily widows, are the heads of their families. Let your exalted emotions move you as they will as the tale unfolds. If you are honorably seized with mirth, forget not that sombre sorrow may swiftly overtake you. When your precious tears fall copiously to the ground, take comfort in the thought that the Way of Yu-soo is the way to happiness and sublime contentment.

Book Synopsis Three Kingdoms and Chinese Culture by : Kimberly Besio
Download or read book Three Kingdoms and Chinese Culture written by Kimberly Besio and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length treatment in English of Three Kingdoms (Sanguo yanyi), often regarded as China's first great classical novel. Set in the historical period of the disunion (220–280 AD), Three Kingdoms fuses history and popular tradition to create a sweeping epic of heroism and political ambition. The essays in this volume explore the multifarious connections between Three Kingdoms and Chinese culture from a variety of disciplines, including history, literature, philosophy, art history, theater, cultural studies, and communications, demonstrating the diversity of backgrounds against which this novel can be studied. Some of the most memorable episodes and figures in Chinese literature appear within its pages, and Three Kingdoms has had a profound influence on personal, social, and political behavior, even language usage, in the daily life of people in China today. The novel has inspired countless works of theater and art, and, more recently, has been the source for movies and a television series. Long popular in other countries of East Asia, such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, Three Kingdoms has also been introduced to younger generations around the globe through a series of extremely popular computer games. This study helps create a better understanding of the work's unique place in Chinese culture.
