Download or read book Drawing-Room Plays written by Adelaide Cadogan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one occasion Garrick was present in a country house at a performance of "Hamlet." On the conclusion of the play he was pressed to give his opinion of the acting. The great actor, after some hesitation, commended the manner in which the Players' King had played his part. Now this very minor part had been acted by a scene shifter of his own theatre. Whether Garrick was aware of this, history records not; but his preference of the humblest professional to the most accomplished amateur is a warning to the latter. Lady Adelaide Cadogan seems to have had this anecdote in mind when she selected and adapted these plays from the French. They are written for amateurs, being absolutely free from the enthusiasm and passion of tragedy and comedy. When we speak of them as farces, we are by no means blind to their merits. They are what they profess to be -short, amusing, unobjectionable in tone, and easy to act. Of the seven plays, "Well Matched After All" is the one that most nearly approaches the level of comedy; while "Bric-a-Brac" is perhaps the most entertaining. The success of "Well Matched" would greatly depend on the acting of Rooney, the old Irish servant A good brogue is as refreshing in a drawing-room piece as sunshine in a landscape. It is very probable, however, that while " Well Matched" is the best comedy to read, "How Happy Could I Be with Either?" might prove the best to act. The scene in which Mr. Tremayne reads the Queen and the Times at the same time Lady Susan and her niece would convulse e audience if acted with* spirit. There is always an "if"; but we can say that Lady Adelaide's plays will repay time arid trouble- the only royal road to good acting. We must not close this brief notice without a word of hearty commendation for the illustrations, by E. Z. Shute. -The Academy - Vol. 34 [1888]

Download or read book Dictionary of the British English Spelling System written by Greg Brooks and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Download or read book Dickens and Popular Entertainment written by Paul Schlicke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dickens and Popular Entertainment is the first extended study of this vital aspect of Dicken's life and work. Ranging widely through showmen's memoirs, playbills, advertisements, journals, drawings and imaginative literature, Paul Schlicke explores the ways in which Dickens channelled his love of entertainment into incomparable artistry. Circus, fair, theatre and street performances provided the novelist with subject matter and with the sources of imaginative stimulus essential to his art. Splendidly illustrated with nineteenth-century engravings, many reprinted here for the first time, this study offers a challenging reassessment of Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop and Hard Times. It shows the important place entertainment held in Dicken's journalism and presents an illuminating perspective on the public readings which dominated the last twelve years of his life.
