Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Drama of Italy The Contemporary Drama of Italy has hitherto been known to the English-speaking public through the work of comparatively few dramatists. This history hopes to show these writers in their chronological and literary background and to introduce other dramatists who deserve to be known. If it succeeds in planting or stimulating interest in the Italian Drama, if it gives an impulse, however slight, to that movement for mutual understanding which is gaining headway in Italy and America, then it shall have more than fulfilled its function. An apology, is necessary for the uncertainties in the dating of premieres and first printing of plays. There is no single source for such data and authorities differ so that confusion prevails. For completeness and certainty a prolonged investigation on the ground would be necessary, a search through journals and records not accessible on this side of the Atlantic. This would be a labor of years and really lies outside the field of the present study. Wherever possible the dates have been verified, but unfortunately the material in American libraries is far from complete. The author must bear the blame, however, for any flagrant mistakes.

Download or read book Women, Rhetoric, and Drama in Early Modern Italy written by Alexandra Coller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteenth-century Italy witnessed the rebirth of comedy, tragedy, and tragicomedy in the pastoral mode. Traditionally, we think of comedy and tragedy as remakes of ancient models, and tragicomedy alone as the invention of the moderns. Women, Rhetoric, and Drama in Early Modern Italy suggests that all three genres were, in fact, remarkably new, if dramatists’ intriguingly sympathetic portrayals of and sustained investment in women as vibrant and dynamic characters of the early modern stage are taken into account. This study examines the role of rhetoric and gender in early modern Italian drama, in itself and in order to explore its complex interrelationship with the rise of women writers and the role women played in Italian culture and society, while at the same time demonstrating just how closely intertwined history, culture, and dramatic writing are. Author Alexandra Coller focuses on the scripted/erudite plays of the sixteenth and first half of the seventeenth centuries, which, she argues, are indispensable for a balanced view of the history of drama and its place within contemporary literary and women’s studies. As this book reveals, the ascendancy of comedy, tragedy, and tragicomedy in the vernacular seems to have been not only inextricably linked to but also dependent on the rise of women as prominent stage characters and, eventually, as authors in their own right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Emerging in Italy in the mid-sixteenth century, pastoral drama is one of the most characteristic genres of its time. Sampson traces its uneven development into the following century by exploring masterpieces by Tasso and Guarini, and many lesser known works, some by women writers. She examines the treatment of key themes of love, the Golden Age, and Nature and Art against the background of the textual and stage production of the plays. An investigation of critical writings associated with the genre further reveals its significance to the contemporary literary scene, by stimulating 'modernizing' attitudes towards the canon, as well as new enquiries into the function and possibilities of art."

Download or read book Italian Culture in the Drama of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries written by Michele Marrapodi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying recent developments in new historicism and cultural materialism - along with the new perspectives opened up by the current debate on intertextuality and the construction of the theatrical text - the essays collected here reconsider the pervasive influence of Italian culture, literature, and traditions on early modern English drama. The volume focuses strongly on Shakespeare but also includes contributions on Marston, Middleton, Ford, Brome, Aretino, and other early modern dramatists. The pervasive influence of Italian culture, literature, and traditions on the European Renaissance, it is argued here, offers a valuable opportunity to study the intertextual dynamics that contributed to the construction of the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatrical canon. In the specific area of theatrical discourse, the drama of the early modern period is characterized by the systematic appropriation of a complex Italian iconology, exploited both as the origin of poetry and art and as the site of intrigue, vice, and political corruption. Focusing on the construction and the political implications of the dramatic text, this collection analyses early modern English drama within the context of three categories of cultural and ideological appropriation: the rewriting, remaking, and refashioning of the English theatrical tradition in its iconic, thematic, historical, and literary aspects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As it considers early modern medical theories, sexual myths, and intergenerational conflicts, this book traces the development of the comic old man character in Renaissance comedy, from his many incarnations in Venice and Florence to his popularity on the English stage. As Anthony Ellis shows how English dramatists adapted an Italian model to portray concerns about growing old, he sheds new light on early modern society's complex attitudes toward aging.
