Download or read book The Contemporary History Play written by Benjamin Poore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something exciting is happening with the contemporary history play. New writing by playwrights such as Jackie Sibblies Drury, Samuel Adamson, Hannah Khalil, Cordelia Lynn, and Lucy Kirkwood, makes powerful theatrical use of the past, but does not fit into critics' familiar categories of historical drama. In this book, Benjamin Poore provides readers with tools to name and critically analyse these changes. The Contemporary History Play contends that many history plays are becoming more complex and layered in their aesthetic approaches, as playwrights work through the experience of being surrounded by numerous and varied forms of historical representation in the twenty-first century. For theatre scholars, this book offers a means of interpreting how new writing relies on the past and notions of historicity to generate meaning and resonance in the present. For playwrights and students of playwriting, the book is a guide to the history play's recent past, and to the state of the art: what techniques and formulas have been popular, the tropes that are widely used, and how artists have found ways of renewing or overturning established conventions.

This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Shakespeare, few dramatists had used historical figures as characters in a play, or actual historical events as elements of a plot. Likewise, the Bard was a pioneer of the sonnet, which he took to new heights. Both literary form, including his two historical tetralogies, and his narrative poems, in addition to the particular form of sonnet that now bears his name are examined through engaging text. A brief treatise on the music within and accompanying productions of Shakespeares plays rounds out the coverage.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... HELENA'S HUSBAND THE SCENE Is that archeological mystery, a Greek interior. A door on the right leads to the king's library, one on the left to the apartments of the Queen. Back right is the main entrance leading to the palace. Next this, running the full length of the wall, is a window with a platform, built out over the main court. Beyond is a view of hills, bright with lemon groves, and in the far distance shimmers the sea. On the wall near the Queen's room hangs an old shield rusty with disuse. There are low coffers about the room from which hang the ends of vivid coloured robes. The scene is bathed in intense sunlight. TsUMU is massaging the Queen. Helena. There's no doubt about it. Tsumu. Analytikos says there is much doubt about all things. Helena. Never mind what he says. I envy you your complexion. Tsumu. (Falling prostrate before Helena) Whom the queen envies should beware. Helena. (Annoyed) Get up, Tsumu. You make me nervous tumbling about like that. ii Tsumu. (Still on the floor) Why does the great queen envy Tsumu? Helena. Get up, you silly. (She kicks her) I envy you because you can run about and never worry about getting sunburnt. Tsumu. (On her knees) The radiant beauty of the queen is unspoilable. Helena. That's just what's worrying me, Tsumu. When beauty is so perfect the slightest jar may mean a jolt. (She goes over and looks at her reflections in the shield) I can't see myself as well as I would like to. His shield is tarnished. Menelaus has been too long out of battle. Tsumu. (Handing her a hand mirror) The Gods will keep Sparta free from strife. Helena. I'll have you beaten if you assume that prophetic tone with me. There's one thing I can't stand and that's a know-all. (Flinging the hand mirror to the floor) Tsumu....
Download or read book Shakespeare Co author written by Brian Vickers and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No issue in Shakespeare studies is more important than determining what he wrote. For over two centuries scholars have discussed the evidence that Shakespeare worked with co-authors on several plays, and have used a variety of methods to differentiate their contributions from his. In thiswide-ranging study, Brian Vickers takes up and extends these discussions, presenting compelling evidence that Shakespeare wrote Titus Andronicus together with George Peele, Timon of Athens with Thomas Middleton, Pericles with George Wilkins, and Henry VIII and The Two Noble Kinsmen with JohnFletcher.In Part One Vickers reviews the standard processes of co-authorship as they can be reconstructed from documents connected with the Elizabethan stage, and shows that every major, and most minor dramatists in the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Caroline theatres collaborated in getting plays written andstaged. This is combined with a survey of the types of methodology used since the early nineteenth century to identify co-authorship, and a critical evaluation of some 'stylometric' techniques.Part Two is devoted to detailed analyses of the five collaborative plays, discussing every significant case made for and against Shakespeare's co-authorship. Synthesizing two centuries of discussion, Vickers reveals a solidly based scholarly tradition, building on and extending previous work,identifying the co-authors' contributions in increasing detail. The range and quantity of close verbal analysis brought together in Shakespeare, Co-Author present a compelling case to counter those 'conservators' of Shakespeare who maintain that he is the sole author of his plays.
