Download or read book Marion de Lorme written by John J. Janc and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical edition, or “édition critique,” of Victor Hugo’s play Marion de Lorme. A critical edition is much more than a typical scholarly publication of a literary work that only contains a brief introduction, the text, and endnotes. The in-depth introduction in this critical edition details the history and genesis of the play from its inception through its première, as well as a study of the manuscript and of all other original related documents. It also features a history of the première, the critical reaction, and an analysis of various nineteenth-century editions of the work. The actual text of the play contains a critical apparatus that indicates all modifications of the text made by the author during its composition. Following the play, there are literary, historical, linguistic, and critical notes, indexes of all words and proper names, and a bibliography of works related to the play in question.

Download or read book The Critical Fall and Rise of John Marston written by T. F. Wharton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 1994 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of critical reception of Marston, also revealing for light it sheds on relations between dramatists of late 16c -early 17c. John Marston, the most infamous of the late 16th and early 17th-century English satirists and dramatists, achieved both fame and notoriety, and an accepted place in the Elizabethan/Jacobean canon, for his scathing satires such asThe Scourge of Villanie, and other plays, most notably Antonio's Revenge; his works are characterised by a highly individual verbal style and a variety of lurid theatrical devices. Fred Wharton's study answers along-felt need for a full-length analysis of Marston's critical reception, a story almost as wild and extravagant as the rhetoric of Marston's own work. He suggests the reasons underlying Marston's fall and rise, and examines those features of his work most likely to repel or attract successive readerships.

Download or read book Hernani by Victor Hugo Book Analysis written by Bright Summaries and published by Brightsummaries.com. This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of Hernani with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Hernani by Victor Hugo, which tells the story of the titular bandit as he tries to be with the woman he loves, Donna Sol. Given that Donna Sol is already engaged to her uncle and Hernani must live life as an outlaw, their relationship seems impossible, and the happiness they have long yearned for is ultimately snatched away before they can truly savour it. Because it openly flouted the conventions of classical theatre, the play inspired a lively polemic when it was first performed, but later came to be recognised as a classic work of French drama. Its author, Victor Hugo, was one of the leading figures of the Romantic movement in France, and is known in particular for his novels Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Find out everything you need to know about Hernani in a fraction of the time!

Download or read book A Study of Victor Hugo written by Algernon Charles Swinburne and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review from The Dial, Vol. 6, 1886: Mr. Swinburne's critical method is so unlike the one most in vogue that it cannot be appreciated without a sort of mental readjustment on the part of most readers. The critical brotherhood at large finds its account so entirely in the searching out and triumphant parading of flaws in the work of an artist-the greater the artist the more minute the search and the louder the shout of triumph-that it is hardly apt to deal gently with a critic who, like Mr. Swinburne, believes that "the noble pleasure of praising" is the chief function of criticism, and invariably acts upon this belief. Mr. Swinburne's new volume is a study of Victor Hugo, which serves as an acceptable companion-piece to his "Study of Shakespeare." It consists of his "Fortnightly Review " and "Nineteenth Century" articles, republished with some additions, these being mainly in the direction of quoted passages from the work of Hugo. Thus put together and suitably illustrated, the articles form a sort of running commentary upon the entire succession of Victor Hugo's works. As a handbook for those who may desire to acquaint themselves with the great poet of the century, it will be found especially valuable. No other English writer speaks of Victor Hugo with the authority of Mr. Swinburne, and the fervor of his praise does not prevent him from being acutely and subtly discriminative. The one who thus takes up the work of a great and voluminous writer, and tells where its chief beauties are to be sought for, performs a task of much service to many readers. Mr. Swinburne has faithfully fulfilled his apostolic function in this as in many other ways, and it is largely owing to his efforts in and out of season that English people are coming to see, what the rest of the world has seen and admitted for years, that the central figure of the age now drawing to its close is that of the great Frenchman whose death a year ago made the earth seem somehow less fair than it had been. Against the final record of this judgment many will doubtless still protest; those "critics" who cannot scan a line of French verse will be especially vehement, and those others who assert that poetry of the highest order cannot be written in the French language; but the entry will none the less be made, just as similar entries have been made concerning Goethe and Shakespeare and Dante. Mr. Swinburne's style is not at its best in this study. It is more than usually involved and obscure, although still a marvellous word-fabric which would defy all attempts at imitation. The number of misprints in the American edition of the work (published by Worthington Co.) is quite inexcusable. N.B.: The volume for sale here is from the original Chatto & Windus publication, not Worthington Co. edition.
