Download or read book Goldoni and the Venice of His Time Classic Reprint written by Joseph Spencer Kennard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Goldoni and the Venice of His Time" is a biography of Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni, who lived from 1707 until 1793. Joseph Spencer Kennard's work is a detailed examination of Goldoni's life and work. Carlo Goldoni is the author of many classic Italian plays, some of which remain popular to this day; the play "Servant of Two Master" is perhaps his best known work. Author Joseph Kennard opens his biography of Goldoni with a chronological summary of the writer's life. From there, the book launches into a detailed discussion of all aspects of Carlos Goldoni's life, which has been broken down into chapters representing distinct time periods. Goldoni's childhood is detailed, as are his most prolific years as a playwright, with the concluding chapter ultimately dealing with Goldoni's death. Goldoni's biography is only one part of Kennard's book, and is in fact devoted less space than the author's examination of the works of the great playwright. Kennard provides a detailed breakdown, including plot summaries, details of the writing process, notes on critical reception, and behind the scenes gossip, of many of Goldoni's greatest works. For true fans of Carlo Goldoni, it is this section of the book that will be most appealing. As a detailed biography and a throughout examination of a man's work, Kennard's book "Goldoni and the Venice of His Time" is a great success. Anybody interested in the work of Carlo Goldoni, or a history of Italian theatre, will find this to be a fascinating read.

Download or read book Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni written by Scott Malia and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni uses Giorgio Strehler’s Goldoni productions (and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni in particular) as a means to defining his directorial aesthetic. The book provides a framework for examining the director’s career that is expansive rather than restrictive, using Goldoni and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni as a through-line for Strehler’s fifty-year career at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. This research defines Strehler’s multifaceted style and brings to light interrelationships among his various works, creating a base from which a variety of subsequent critical inquiries can be made. It also establishes Strehler’s identity within the larger scope of the Italian theatre as a whole. Finally, it creates the critical challenge of finding more expansive notions of directorial style and concept that unite diverse ideologies without delimiting our understanding of the director. Crucial to understanding Strehler’s work with Arlecchino servitore di due padroni is his consistent reinterpretation of the play, which received no less than five distinct productions during Strehler’s lengthy career. His repeated reworking of existing productions provides a baseline for examining what elements were maintained and what elements changed or evolved. The four key influences that defined Strehler’s aesthetic in his work with Arlecchino were commedia dell’Arte, Bertolt Brecht, “refractive theatricality” and Jacques Copeau. Through these productions, Strehler created a dialogue with his audience and helped change the reputation of Carlo Goldoni both in his own country and abroad.

Download or read book The Translator as Writer written by Susan Bassnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, interest in translation around the world has increased beyond any predictions. International bestseller lists now contain large numbers of translated works, and writers from Latin America, Africa, India and China have joined the lists of eminent, bestselling European writers and those from the global English-speaking world. Despite this, translators tend to be invisible, as are the processes they follow and the strategies they employ when translating. The Translator as Writer bridges the divide between those who study translation and those who produce translations, through essays written by well-known translators talking about their own work as distinctive creative literary practice. The book emphasises this creativity, arguing that translators are effectively writers, or rewriters who produce works that can be read and enjoyed by an entirely new audience. The aim of the book is to give a proper prominence to the role of translators and in so doing to move attention back to the act of translating, away from more abstract speculation about what translation might involve.
Download or read book Playing with Gender written by Maggie Gunsberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work takes gender as its point of entry into the comedies of Carlo Goldoni (1707-93). The dramatization of femininity and masculinity is explored in conjunction with that of other social categories (class, the family, and age). The plays reinforce the patriarchal association of femininity with the body, with spectacle, and with theatricality, while the dramatic backdrop of Venice and carnival provides a context for the staging of issues relating to identity, disguise and fashion. In the plays, pretence and theatricality vie with bourgeois Enlightenment values of morality, honesty and respectability to produce dramatic tension with distinct gender implications."
