Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Study Outline on Contemporary Drama, Prepared Each of Brieux's plays is built up around a central idea. This is particularly true of Damaged goods, on the theme of hereditary disease and its social consequences; and of Maternity, on the theme of the decline of the birth-rate. Maternity is a good example of Brieux's depressing social studies. Julien Brignac, an official, is interested in the birth-rate; his sister-in-law is betrayed by Bernin; hence the tragedy. XI T.W. Robertson And The Nineteenth Century Drama (England, 1829-1871) Most Important Plays Society(1865) Caste(1867) Caste. This is a thoroughly representative piece of Robertson's work. It is highly sentimental, and deals with the romantic love of George D'Alroy and Esther Eccles, the daughter of drunken old Eccles, and the breaking down of caste before love. Caste is almost everything in plot, spirit, and incident that The doll's house and Ghost's are not. Contrast these two types of plays; and consider why the representation of Ghosts in London in 1891 created such a sensation. XII Henry Arthur Jones (England, 1851-) Most Important Plays Saints and sinners(1884) The triumph of the Philistine(1895) Michael and his lost angel(1905) Saints and sinners. Read the author's preface - a defence of his art against certain attacks. The play is a frank discussion of questions of religion. The triumph of the Philistines. Read the preface.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary One-Act Plays: With Outline Study of the One-Act Play and Bibliographies This collection of one-act plays appears because of an in creasingly large demand for such a volume. The plays have been selected and the Introduction prepared to meet the need of the student or teacher who desires to acquaint himself with the one-act play as a specific dramatic form.

The unduly sentimental, the strikingly melodramatic, and the play of questionable moral problems, has been consciously avoided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Drama As we seize the importance of these lines of ap proach, the historical and the practical, we see that a soundknowledge of the drama is not possible unless we seek to attain both a perspective of its develop ment and an insight into its technic. Just as the study of music is most stimulating when it includes an in quiry into the value of each of the several instruments, and also into their gradual combination into the most marvelous instrument of them all, the modern orches tra, so the study of the drama is most likely to be profit able when it leads us to consider the successive modi fications in the shape and size of the theaters wherein plays were acted; the varying circumstances of per formance to which the playwrights had to conform; the conventions of the art, some of them shifting from century to century or from country to country, and some of them immutable in the very nature of the drama. Especially stimulating is it for us to recognize the real unity of history, the continuity of the art of the drama, which enables us so often to explain the past by the present and the present by the past.

Download or read book Shakespeare Questions written by Odell Shepard and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Questions: An Outline for the Study of the Leading Plays It would be easy to expect more from this book than it is designed to give. It offers little criticism or information and it is not intended for use to the exclusion of lectures, books of reference, or notes. Indeed, it avoids, in as far as possible, the material commonly found in these indispensable helps and guides to the study of Shakespeare. It cannot take the place of a gifted interpreter nor can it make the men and women of the plays live and move before an inert mind or a listless imagination. It is primarily analytical in method, and although much has been done in the general questions to insure a comprehensive view of each play, the work of final synthesis has been left, as it always must be left, to the individual student. I am aware of many objections that may be urged against a book such as the present, but I have yet to discover any method of teaching and studying Shakespeare as effective as the one upon which the book is based. The pure lecture system leaves the student too much upon his own resources and gives that impression of haziness and generality which leads to frequent and legitimate complaints against some methods of teaching English literature. The use of wide collateral reading is essential to the success of any method, but every teacher of the plays knows the danger of losing sight of Shakespeare while threading the jungle of Shakespearean scholarship. Reliance upon notes, dissection of the plays line by line and word by word in disconnection dead and spiritless," use of the text as an exercise-book in etymology, phonetics, antiquities, and prosody, is probably the worst method of all.

Download or read book Art of the Drama Classic Reprint written by Fred B. Millett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art of the Drama This book is not a history of the drama. Nor is it a manual for the multitudes who aspire to write plays and sell them. It is a tool for the use of those who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their enjoyment of plays witnessed in the theater or read in the study. As a textbook, it may prove useful in the study of the history of the drama or of the drama as a literary type, or in such a course as the Introduction to the Study of Drama as given at the University of Chicago. The book is divided into three parts, each of which emphasizes a particular aspect of the drama. Part I is mainly devoted to the historical aspect of the drama, the spirit of the age, the nature of the theater and audience in each of the major periods in dramatic his tory. It also contains a general discussion of the major forms or types of drama - tragedy, comedy, melodrama, and farce - and a more detailed consideration of the types of drama and comedy characteristic of each period. Part II considers the major modes of drama - classicism, romanticism, realism, sentimentalism, symbol ism, and expressionism. Part III concerns the major problems of dramatic technique and the characteristic solutions of those prob lems in the various types and modes and periods of drama. There is no question that it would have been more logical to con sider first the technical, second the aesthetic, and third the historical approach to the study of drama, and students of a logical turn of mind will have no difficulty in using the text in that order. But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III.

Book excerpt: This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Download or read book Books Are Made Out of Books written by Michael Lynn Crews and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cormac McCarthy told an interviewer for the New York Times Magazine that "books are made out of books," but he has been famously unwilling to discuss how his own writing draws on the works of other writers. Yet his novels and plays masterfully appropriate and allude to an extensive range of literary works, demonstrating that McCarthy is well aware of literary tradition, respectful of the canon, and deliberately situating himself in a knowing relationship to precursors. The Wittliff Collection at Texas State University acquired McCarthy's literary archive in 2007. In Books Are Made Out of Books, Michael Lynn Crews thoroughly mines the archive to identify nearly 150 writers and thinkers that McCarthy himself references in early drafts, marginalia, notes, and correspondence. Crews organizes the references into chapters devoted to McCarthy's published works, the unpublished screenplay Whales and Men, and McCarthy's correspondence. For each work, Crews identifies the authors, artists, or other cultural figures that McCarthy references; gives the source of the reference in McCarthy's papers; provides context for the reference as it appears in the archives; and explains the significance of the reference to the novel or play that McCarthy was working on. This groundbreaking exploration of McCarthy's literary influences—impossible to undertake before the opening of the archive—vastly expands our understanding of how one of America's foremost authors has engaged with the ideas, images, metaphors, and language of other thinkers and made them his own.
