Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of the Play, Vol. 1 of 1: Studies and Illustrations and Histrionic Story, Life, and Character IN the Preface to the first edition of this book I noted that the Theatre had become specially an object of attention amongst us. Six years have passed, and, as I judge, there has been important increase of the general favour and high estimation enjoyed by our stage. It seems fitting, therefore, that A Book of the Play should now assume a popular form, and be placed easily within the reach of a larger class of readers than it originally addressed. Those interested in the transactions of the Theatre are assuredly more numerous to-day than they were yesterday.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of the Play, Vol. 1: Studies and Illustrations of Histrionic Story, Life, and Character Let it not be supposed, however, that a shower bath of antiquarianism is to follow hard upon this induction. While looking back at the past, the present has been borne in mind. I trust, indeed, the entertainment I have laboured to provide, may prove to be lacking neither in substance nor in variety, and that interspersed among the more solid dishes may be found a sufficiency of lighter food. I have sought both to appease in some measure the appetite of the hungry student of the subj ect, and to stimulate and gratify the rather palled palate of that well-known and very in uen tial personage the general reader, who, unable to make a genuine meal from any book, can only be persuaded to pick a page or two now and then. I have aimed at conciliating and content ing both those who simply dip, and those who, so to speak, totally immerse themselves in their author. I cannot hope that in a publication of this class I have altogether escaped inaccuracy. In dealing with a multiplicity of dates and bygone facts, I may here -and there have gone astray, although always with the best intention of adhering to the right road. I must ask for leniency of judgment if any material errors of this kind shall be found to disfigure the following pages. Moreover, the indulgence of the reader is solicited in relation to certain rep etitions hardly avoidable in the treatment of subjects having close relation to each other. In studying a map of Middlesex, one cannot help seeing something of Surrey, Essex, Herts, &c., albeit separate charts of those counties may happen to be close at hand. Discussing one topic, others needs must be infringed upon, more or less. I should add that the chapters here assembled first sought public favour as' individual papers. Their subsequent collection was always contem plated, but it was thought well to equip them as completely as possible in the first instance - it might be with a little borrowing now and then from the possessions of their neighbours. They are here reproduced in a revised, and in many instances an extended form essential change, however, was scarcely practicable. I can only hope that what was deemed an advantage to them originally, when they stood alone, may not be reckoned gravely to their prejudice now that they present themselves ranged together in close order, shoulder to shoulder.

Download or read book Romantic and Revolutionary Theatre 1789 1860 written by Donald Roy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-05 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking as notional parameters the upheaval of the French Revolution and the events leading up to the Unification of Italy, this volume charts a period of political and social turbulence in Europe and its reflection in theatrical life. Apart from considering external factors like censorship and legal sanctions on theatrical activity, the volume examines the effects of prevailing operational conditions on the internal organization of companies, their repertoire, acting, stage presentation, playhouse architecture and the relationship with audiences. Also covered are technical advances in stage machinery, scenography and lighting, the changing position of the playwright and the continuing importance of various street entertainments, particularly in Italy, where dramatic theatre remained the poor relation of the operatic, and itinerant acting troupes still constituted the norm. The 460 documents, many of them illustrated, have been drawn from sources in Britain, France and Italy and have been annotated, and translated where appropriate.
