Download or read book Shakespeare Not Shakespeare written by Christy Desmet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay collection addresses the paradox that something may at once “be” and “not be” Shakespeare. This phenomenon can be a matter of perception rather than authorial intention: audiences may detect Shakespeare where the author disclaims him or have difficulty finding him where he is named. Douglas Lanier’s “Shakespearean rhizome,” which co-opts Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of artistic relations as rhizomes (a spreading, growing network that sprawls horizontally to defy hierarchies of origin and influence) is fundamental to this exploration. Essays discuss the fine line between “Shakespeare” and “not Shakespeare” through a number of critical lenses—networks and pastiches, memes and echoes, texts and paratexts, celebrities and afterlives, accidents and intertexts—and include a wide range of examples: canonical plays by Shakespeare, historical figures, celebrities, television performances and adaptations, comics, anime appropriations, science fiction novels, blockbuster films, gangster films, Shakesploitation and teen films, foreign language films, and non-Shakespearean classic films.

Download or read book Star Crossed written by Francis Gilbert and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Gilbert writes so well that you half suspect he could give up the day job,' The Independent.'A natural storyteller,' The Times Educational Supplement (TES)The brand new edition includes Shakespeare's original play as well as a fabulously entertaining, controversial and challenging translation.This book is a perfect companion to Baz Luhrmann's great film 'Romeo + Juliet'. Written by a teacher who is also a best-selling author, 'Star-crossed' is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet which updates Shakespeare's classic play in a very entertaining fashion. In some ways it is faithful to the original text, providing a modern translation for every speech in the play. However, it uses poetic licence to make Shakespeare's language accessible to teenagers and adults: for example, bad language has been used when appropriate to the dialogue. This playscript is not suitable for children under the age of fifteen. After reading this modern translation, you'll understand and appreciate Shakespeare's text that much more.

Download or read book Black Boy Seventy fifth Anniversary Edition written by Richard Wright and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A special 75th anniversary edition of Richard Wright's powerful and unforgettable memoir, with a new foreword by John Edgar Wideman and an afterword by Malcolm Wright, the author’s grandson. When it exploded onto the literary scene in 1945, Black Boy was both praised and condemned. Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that “if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy.” Yet from 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for “obscenity” and “instigating hatred between the races.” Wright’s once controversial, now celebrated autobiography measures the raw brutality of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a Black boy. Enduring poverty, hunger, fear, abuse, and hatred while growing up in the woods of Mississippi, Wright lied, stole, and raged at those around him—whites indifferent, pitying, or cruel and Blacks resentful of anyone trying to rise above their circumstances. Desperate for a different way of life, he headed north, eventually arriving in Chicago, where he forged a new path and began his career as a writer. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to “hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo.” Seventy-five years later, his words continue to reverberate. “To read Black Boy is to stare into the heart of darkness,” John Edgar Wideman writes in his foreword. “Not the dark heart Conrad searched for in Congo jungles but the beating heart I bear.” One of the great American memoirs, Wright’s account is a poignant record of struggle and endurance—a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time.

Download or read book Raising the Ruins written by Stephen Flurry and published by Philadelphia Church of God. This book was released on with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert W. Armstrong was the world's leading televangelist and one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century, watched, read and followed by millions worldwide. But his legacy of Bible-based humanitarianism came under attack after he died. The cabal of leaders who took control of the church he founded, after pledging to "follow in his footsteps," methodically destroyed all he had built. Those who would stop them were silenced or excommunicated. Had it happened in the corporate world, the CEOs and executives responsible for hijacking a corporation and robbing its investors would have been fired, if not prosecuted in a court of law. Never before has this shocking story been told in such riveting detail. Drawing upon official reports, internal memos, court depositions and personal interviews, Stephen Flurry exposes the depth of corruption and deceit that was "Tkachism" - the administration of Joseph Tkach, who succeeded Mr. Armstrong as pastor general of the Worldwide Church of God. In this book you will learn: *How Tkach's men altered doctrines under Mr. Armstrong's nose even before he died. *How the Tkach transformation was driven from the start by an agenda that even shocked most of the top ministers. *How early on, Tkachism brazenly denied its radical changes before the church members. *How Tkachism slashed media operations under the pretense of "wise stewardship"--while income soared at a record $1 billion in five years. *How Tkachism shamefully forced out the very members whose contributions had built the multi-million dollar empire. *How Tkach's men told church members the message of Mr. Armstrong's magnum opus, Mystery of the Ages, was still official, while they secretly trashed 120,000 copies of the book. *How Tkach Jr. considered it his "Christian duty" to stamp out Mr. Armstrong's writings. *How Tkach Jr. nearly achieved that goal in a six-year legal battle, but then, for fear of being exposed, surrendered. *How the marvelous wonder of Mr. Armstrong's work is being raised from the ruins. Worldwide Church of God leaders today present themselves to the mainstream evangelical world as a band of courageous truth-lovers who sacrificed everything to follow Jesus Christ. The stubborn facts of what they did, however, tell a far more sinister story - a story they have done their utmost to keep buried. This book exhumes those facts and exposes them to the furious light of day, as they should have been all along, for your scrutiny.
