Book Synopsis The Achievement of Brian Friel by : Alan J. Peacock
Download or read book The Achievement of Brian Friel written by Alan J. Peacock and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reception of Brian Friel's recent Dancing at Lughnasa confirms his status as Ireland's leading dramatist. The body of work that he has produced is outstanding in its breadth of sympathy and interest, its dramaturgical invention and its wide cultural and intellectual purview. At one level, it may be seen as a continuous examination of Irish culture and politics, committed and analytical, but not sectionally propagandist. His outlook in his drama, however, is not amenable to simplistic categorization, political or otherwise. As this volume demonstrates, linguistically, allusively, and in terms of its broad transcultural analogising, his work ranges widely. He utilises ideas and terminologies drawn from various cultural sources and academic disciplines in a way that exemplifies his central, insistent concern with the phenomenon of language and implications. As an Irish dramatist, however, he makes Irish social, political and, notably, family life his focus and builds upon a recognised tradition of twentieth century Irish play-writing. This book addresses the variety and complexity of Friel's drama by bringing to bear a range of academic and other professional and creative approaches in order to highlight particular aspects of his work and thought. Hence, contributors include a playwright, poet, theatre-producer, historian and various specialists in relevant literatures. In this way, the book suggests the intellectual richness, humanity, and protean skill and invention of the work.

Book Synopsis A History of Roman Literature (2 vols.) by : M. von Albrecht
Download or read book A History of Roman Literature (2 vols.) written by M. von Albrecht and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 1864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael von Albrecht's A History of Roman Literature, originally published in German, can rightly be seen as the long awaited counterpart to Albin Lesky's Geschichte der Griechischen Literatur. In what will probably be the last survey made by a single scholar the whole of Latin literature from Livius Andronicus up to Boethius comes to the fore. 'Literature' is taken here in its broad, antique sense, and therefore also includes e.g. rhetoric, philosophy and history. Special attention has been given to the influence of Latin literature on subsequent centuries down to our own days. Extensive indices give access to this monument of learning. The introductions in Von Albrecht's texts, together with the large bibliographies make further study both more fruitful and easy.

Book Synopsis FrC 22.2 Nikostratos II – Theaitetos by : Andrew Hartwig
Download or read book FrC 22.2 Nikostratos II – Theaitetos written by Andrew Hartwig and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is part of the Fragmenta Comica series which aims to provide commentaries and translations to all the surviving fragments and testimonia of the comic poets of ancient Greece. This volume offers the first scholarly commentary and sustained study of several late fourth-century BCE poets of the so-called New Comedy – among them Philippides of Athens, a writer and dramatist highly esteemed in antiquity, known especially for his acrimonious clashes with Athenian demagogues and his influential friendship with foreign kings. All fragments are subject to close textual, linguistic and stylistic analysis, and are interpreted against the wider literary, social and historical background of the period. This volume will be a valuable reference work for scholars and students of ancient comedy, as well as anyone interested in ancient literature more generally and the broader historical and cultural contexts in which these texts were written.
Book Synopsis The Power of Genre by : Adena Rosmarin
Download or read book The Power of Genre written by Adena Rosmarin and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Genre was first published in 1986. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The Power of Genre is a radical and systematic rethinking of the relationship between literary genre and critical explanation. Adene Rosmarin shows how traditional theories of genre—whether called "historical," "intrinsic," or "theoretical"—are necessarily undone by their attempts to define genre representationally. Rather, Rosmarin argues, the opening premise of critical argument is always critical purpose or, as E. H. Gombrich has said, function, and the genre or "form" follows the reform. The goal is a relational model that works. Rosemarin analyzes existing theories of genre — those of Hirsch, Crane, Frye, Todorov, Jauss, and Rader are given particular attention—before proposing her own. These analyses uncover the illogic that plagues even sophisticated attempts to treat genre as a preexistent entity. Rosmarin shows how defining genre pragmatically – as explicitly chosen or devised to serve explicitly critical purposes – solves this problem: a pragmatic theory of genre builds analysis of its metaphors and motives into its program, thereby eliminating theory's traditional need to deny the invented and rhetorical nature of its schemes. A pragmatic theory, however, must be tested not only by its internal cohesion but also by its power to enable practice, and Rosmarin chooses the dramatic monologue, an infamously problematic genre, and its recent relative, the mask lyric, as testing grounds. Both genres—variously exemplified by poems of Browning, Thennyson, Eliot, and Pound—are ex post facto critical constructs that, when defined as such, make closely reasoned sense not only of particular poems but also of their perplexed interpretive histories. Moreover, both genres dwell on the historicity, textuality, and redemptive imperfection of the speaking self. This generic obsession ties the poems to their reception and, finally, to the openended, processes of hermeneutic question-and-answer stressed in Rosmarin's framing theory.

Book Synopsis Stages of Self by : Elisabeth A. Howe
Download or read book Stages of Self written by Elisabeth A. Howe and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic monologue has attracted considerable critical attention in English but is rarely considered relevant to French poetry and has generally been ignored in studies of comparative literature. In Stages of Self, various poems by Jules Laforgue, Stephane Mallarmé, and Paul Ambroise Valery are analyzed to show that they conform to the norms of the genre even though they bear little surface resemblance to the dramatic monologues by Browning, Pound, or Eliot. Traditionally, a dramatic monologue is a poem spoken by an identified persona placed in a dramatic situation. This description fits poems such as L'Après-midi d'un faune and La Jeune Parque, though the persona and the drama are quite unlike those of English and American dramatic monologues. The latter two tend to characterize the speaker fully, and to place him/her in a well-defined spatial and temporal context, while the French poems ignore characterization and give very little contextual detail. The figures of the Parque and the Faun are engaged in purely internal dramas, which again distinguishes these poems from the Browning-esque dramatic monologue; they belong to the dramatic tradition of Racine rather than Shakespeare. LaForugue's oetry constitutes an interesting half-way point between the representational dramatic monologue typical of Browning, which Laforgue ironically undermines, and the more impersonal and universal, though still dramatic, monologues of Mallarmé and Valery. Howe seeks to redefine the scope of the term "dramatic monologue," which she feels is often unduly limited. She notes that the term is frequently confined to the use of spoken, colloquial language - so foreign to Mallarmé, Valery, or indeed, Tennyson - or the presence of a silent interlocutor. However, Howe contends that such narrow interpretations restrict the genre to Browning's monologues, and not all of those. Admitting that far more examples of the genre exist in English, Howe attributes the scarcity to the differing assumptions on the part of French poets about poetic voice and about the nature of spoken - as opposed to written - language.

Book Synopsis Menander 'Epitrepontes' (BICS Supplement 106) by : Menander (of Athens.)
Download or read book Menander 'Epitrepontes' (BICS Supplement 106) written by Menander (of Athens.) and published by University of London Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epitrrepontes, or 'The Arbitration', which Menander produced around 300 BC, tackles the modern-sounding subject of a broken marriage. Charisios has left his young wife Pamphile over a suspected infidelity and moved in with his neighbour to drown his sorrows in wine and women, specifically, a spirited harp-girl called Habrotonon. The irate father-in-law will not tolerate this waste of a good dowry and demands of his daughter that she divorce. Bravely she holds out against her father's tirades and remains loyal to her husband. A complex and masterly dramatic sequence ensures that by the end 'all's well that ends well' - and Menander has struck a blow for equality of the sexes, for understanding over arrogance and pride. A large portion of the Epitrepontes was recovered from oblivion in 1905. Since then new papyrus finds have continued to fill the gaps. This edition makes available to the reader all known papyri of the play, including the most recent. The commentary aims to explain the printed text, to place Menander's language in the context of Athenian dramatic art and rhetoric, and to appreciate his subtle insights into the psychology of his characters, from the huffy father-in-law Smikrines to the 'little people' of the comedy, the slaves, each with their private agenda.
