Book Synopsis Pollastra and the Origins of Twelfth Night by : Louise George Clubb
Download or read book Pollastra and the Origins of Twelfth Night written by Louise George Clubb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollastra and the Origins of Twelfth Night addresses two closely linked and increasingly studied issues: the nature of the relation of Shakespeare's plays to Italian culture, and the technology of modern theater invented in Renaissance Italy. The discovery of forgotten works by Giovanni Lappoli, known as Pollastra, led to publication in Italy in 1993 in a limited edition of the Italian texts with supplemental scholarship by the authors, entitled Romance and Aretine Humanism in Sienese Comedy. One of those texts, the comedy Parthenio, has escaped the attention of theater bibliographers, because it was quickly sold out in its time and only a handful of copies are known to exist today. Yet it played an important part in the birth of Italian Renaissance drama and of modern comedy in general, in that it was the immediate predecessor and source of Gl'Ingannati, arguably the most famous comedy of the Italian Renaissance and certainly the most imitated, translated, adapted all over Europe. The best known of its progeny is Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Much has been written in Italy and England about Gl'Ingannati and Shakespeare's debt to it, but nothing at all about Parthenio. This volume provides the first English translation (with the original Italian on facing pages); and presents for an international audience the theatrical scholarship from the 1993 book Romance and Aretine Humanism in Sienese Comedy, augmented with new findings.

Book Synopsis Reconciliation in Selected Shakespearean Dramas by : Beatrice Batson
Download or read book Reconciliation in Selected Shakespearean Dramas written by Beatrice Batson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the rich complexity of the term, reconciliation, as depicted by Shakespeare in selected dramas. The study declares the term’s biblical and theological basis and asserts that it is also a prominent word in social and political discourse. Some contributors to this volume connect reconciliation to justification and atonement before God through Christ’s death; others see the interrelations between the state and the religious character of its ruler; others unfold the need for reconciliation between one person and another or one group of persons and another, while other contributors include the thematic narrative significance of the term.

Download or read book Twelfth Night written by Graham Atkin and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2008-01-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characters of Twelfth Night are both memorable and engaging and it is through their funny, and at times bitter, interplay that we experience the peculiar world of Shakespeare's Illyria. This study begins with a introduction to the concept of "characters" on the early-modern stage before proceeding to a textual analysis of each of the main characters in the play, looking at how what they say and do, and what is said about them, creates the illusion of "character". Each chapter also contains a brief account of key performances by actors on stage and in film.
Book Synopsis Twelfth Night by : William Shakespeare
Download or read book Twelfth Night written by William Shakespeare and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shakespeare is almost universally considered the English language's most famous and greatest writer. In fact, the only people who might dispute that are those who think he didn't write the surviving 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems still attributed to him. Even people who never get around to reading his works in class are instantly familiar with titles like King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo & Shakespeare. Twelfth Night is a comedy that makes reference to the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany, which comes 12 nights after Christmas. In Shakespeare's time, it was a Catholic holiday that was transformed into a celebration full of partying, with people dressing up as the opposite sex and servants dressing up like their masters. This theme is used to advance the plot of Shakespeare's comedy to reach the ending.
