Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory and Technique of Playwriting: With a New Introduction This study of dramatic theory and technique was first published in 1936, in the midst of the social and theatrical upheaval that Harold Clurman calls The Fervent Years. Today, the arts display less fervor, and far less interest in social significance. The transition in dramatic thought from Waiting for Lefty to Waiting for Godot is almost as sweeping as the changes that have taken place among the world's peoples and powers. There are those who regard the culture of the thirties as dead and best forgotten. The question need not be debated here except insofar as this book offers testimony to the contrary. My beliefs have not Changed, nor has my fervor abated. I can hope that my understanding has ripened. But I see no need to modify or revise the theory of dramatic art on which this work is based. The theory holds that the dramatic process follows certain general laws, derived from the function of drama and its historical evolution. A play is a mimed fable, an acted and spoken story. The tale is presented because it has meaning to its creator. It embodies a vision, poses an ethical or emotional problem, praises heroes or laughs at fools. The playwright may not be conscious of any purpose beyond the telling of a tale. He may be more interested in box-oflice receipts than in social values. Nonetheless, the events taking place on the stage embody a point of View, a judgment of human relationships. Conceptual understanding is the key to mastery of dramatic technique. The structure of a play, the design of each scene and the movement of the action to its climax, are the means by which the concept is communicated.

Ilis audiences were not sensitive to lack of vitality in the plays they went to see. Only great periods have produced great drama tists. And Dryden reflects his age.

Download or read book The Theory of the Theatre and Other Principles of Dramatic Criticism Classic Reprint written by Clayton Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of the Theatre and Other Principles of Dramatic Criticism Most of the chapters which make up the present volume have already appeared, in earlier versions, in certain magazines; and to the editors of The Forum, The North American Review, The Smart Set, and The Bookman, I am indebted for permission to republish such materials as I have culled from my contributions to their pages. Though these papers were written at different times and for different immediate circles of subscribers, they were all designed from the outset to illustrate certain steady central principles of dramatic criticism; and, thus collected, they afford, I think, a consistent exposition of the most important points in the theory of the theatre. The introductory chapter, entitled What is a Play?, has not, in any form, appeared in print before; and all the other papers have been diligently revised, and in many passages entirely rewritten.

Download or read book Art of the Drama Classic Reprint written by Fred B. Millett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art of the Drama This book is not a history of the drama. Nor is it a manual for the multitudes who aspire to write plays and sell them. It is a tool for the use of those who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their enjoyment of plays witnessed in the theater or read in the study. As a textbook, it may prove useful in the study of the history of the drama or of the drama as a literary type, or in such a course as the Introduction to the Study of Drama as given at the University of Chicago. The book is divided into three parts, each of which emphasizes a particular aspect of the drama. Part I is mainly devoted to the historical aspect of the drama, the spirit of the age, the nature of the theater and audience in each of the major periods in dramatic his tory. It also contains a general discussion of the major forms or types of drama - tragedy, comedy, melodrama, and farce - and a more detailed consideration of the types of drama and comedy characteristic of each period. Part II considers the major modes of drama - classicism, romanticism, realism, sentimentalism, symbol ism, and expressionism. Part III concerns the major problems of dramatic technique and the characteristic solutions of those prob lems in the various types and modes and periods of drama. There is no question that it would have been more logical to con sider first the technical, second the aesthetic, and third the historical approach to the study of drama, and students of a logical turn of mind will have no difficulty in using the text in that order. But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III.

Download or read book Preface to Drama written by Charles W. Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preface to Drama: An Introduction to Dramatic Literature and Theater Art To these two parts is added an Appendix containing a variety of supplementary materials: notes for the essays and introductions, queries to stimulate closer reading or discussion, specially devised outline-worksheets to guide disciplined analysis, and suggestions for study and further reading. In a variety of ways, Preface to Drama will serve both those who approach the Drama as one of the major types of Literature and those who approach it as the enduring expression of the Theater. It will serve as an introduction to the drama - whether as a course in English, Speech and Drama, or the Humanities. To acknowledge indebtedness can be a pleasure as well as a duty. Helpful indeed have been the critical suggestions made by those persons who have read the manuscript in whole or in part: Dr. Ray Nichols and Mr. George Stoughton, Dr. And Mrs. Arthur C. Berdahl, Dr. James Marshall and Dr. Benjamin G. Whitten, my wife Edris B. Cooper, and the students in my courses who gave me the benefit of their frank comments. Upon my continuing debt to Dr. I. A. Richards and Dr. Albert W. Upton - too great for payment in full - I make another installment of gratitude.

But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III. Both teacher and student will observe that this book makes no attempt to treat comprehensively any particular plays or the work of any particular playwrights, although many plays and many playwrights are drawn on for illustrative material. Rather is the book intended for use in connection with the reading and study of any series of plays in which the teacher or student may be interested. Inevitably, the plays, playwrights, and movements of each major period in the drama are discussed in each of the three parts of the book. But the very full index will make it easy for the reader to turn rapidly to our consideration, under various heads, of a particular play, playwright, or period.
