Download or read book Musical Cultures in Seventeenth Century Russia written by Claudia R. Jensen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-05 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claudia R. Jensen presents the first unified study of musical culture in the court and church of Muscovite Russia. Spanning the period from the installation of Patriarch Iov in 1589 to the beginning of Peter the Great's reign in 1694, her book offers detailed accounts of the celebratory musical performances for Russia's first patriarch -- events that were important displays of Russian piety and power. Jensen emphasizes music's varied roles in Muscovite society and the equally varied opinions and influences surrounding it. In an attempt to demystify what has previously been an enigma to Western readers, she paints a clear picture of the dazzling splendor of musical performances and the ways in which 17th-century Muscovites employed music for spiritual enlightenment as well as entertainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The bringing of Spanish seventeenth-century verse plays to the contemporary English-speaking stage involves a number of fundamental questions. Are verse translations preferable to prose, and if so, what kind of verse? To what degree should translations aim to be 'faithful'? Which kinds of plays 'work', and which do not? Which values and customs of the past present no difficulties for contemporary audiences, and which need to be decoded in performance?Which kinds of staging are suitable, and which are not? To what degree, if any, should one aim for 'authenticity' in staging? In this volume, a group of translators, directors, and scholars explores these and related questions."--Jacket

Download or read book Tennessee Williams Plays written by Judith J. Thompson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies a recurrent structural pattern in Tennessee Williams' plays that lends organic integrity to their evocations of memory, myth, and symbol. Judith Thompson examines the evolution of a pattern of mythic recollection and existential reenactment in seventeen Williams plays--from its most successful realization in The Glass Menagerie through The Night of the Iguana to its self-parody in A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur--and explores the significance of the pattern to Williams' larger-than-life-size characters, his nostalgic ambience, and his tragicomic vision. By reference to Jungian psychology, existentialist philosophy, and Northrop Frye's schematization of literary archetypes, this critical study demonstrates how Williams' drama imparts «mythic significance to modern secular experience.»

Download or read book Mother Wit written by Ronnie W. Clayton and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1990 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Writers' Project, created during the Great Depression of the 1930s, hired unemployed white collar workers to write guidebooks to each state and major city. Some projects interviewed former slaves. Although these slave narratives have been published, those of the Louisiana Writers' Project have lain dormant for almost fifty years. For the first time these narratives appear in print. They provide a graphic and moving portrait of life during and after slavery. The narrators describe punishment, marriage, religion, food, medical treatment and cures, funerals, war, education, witchcraft, spirits, and other subjects. The fascinating story that emerges is one that no novelist could contrive nor historian construe. Voices once mute, pens once stilled, leap to life. For it is their story - those former slaves, and their work - those members of the LWP - their most enduring legacy.
