Download or read book The Betrothed Or Love in Death written by William Sharswood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Betrothed or Love in Death: A Play in Five Acts In this connection it is quite satisfactory to know that the unity of time and place, after having been strongly adhered to in the Greek and Roman Theatre, inculcated by the mediaeval school, and subsequently admitted more or less as a matter of taste, rather than an opinion of judgment, has been subsequently insisted on by certain of the Continental-European critics of Dramatic propriety as one of the most essential criterions for the legitimate Drama. It is of no use to hold out the example of certain unapproachably successful predecessors, who wrote without any definite or regular formation of structure, as any reason for an utter abandonment of any and all rules. If the Drama is an Art, it must be subjected to the usage of art, and become submissive to rule. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Love and Death in Renaissance Italy written by Thomas V. Cohen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gratuitous sex. Graphic violence. Lies, revenge, and murder. Before there was digital cable or reality television, there was Renaissance Italy and the courts in which Italian magistrates meted out justice to the vicious and the villainous, the scabrous and the scandalous. Love and Death in Renaissance Italy retells six piquant episodes from the Italian court just after 1550, as the Renaissance gave way to an era of Catholic reformation. Each of the chapters in this history chronicles a domestic drama around which the lives of ordinary Romans are suddenly and violently altered. You might read the gruesome murder that opens the book—when an Italian noble takes revenge on his wife and her bastard lover as he catches them in delicto flagrante—as straight from the pages of Boccaccio. But this tale, like the other stories Cohen recalls here, is true, and its recounting in this scintillating work is based on assiduous research in court proceedings kept in the state archives in Rome. Love and Death in Renaissance Italy contains stories of a forbidden love for an orphan nun, of brothers who cruelly exact a will from their dying teenage sister, and of a malicious papal prosecutor who not only rapes a band of sisters, but turns their shambling father into a pimp! Cohen retells each cruel episode with a blend of sly wit and warm sympathy and then wraps his tales in ruminations on their lessons, both for the history of their own time and for historians writing today. What results is a book at once poignant and painfully human as well as deliciously entertaining.

Download or read book King Arthur in Music written by Richard W. Barber and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2002 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Between these two extremes, the main body of the book deals largely with opera, from Wagner's 'Tristan' and 'Parsifal' to Harrison Birtwistle's 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. Some works have never been performed, such as Hubert Parry's 'Guenever' and Rutland Boughton's Arthurian cycle, while others have only recently been staged or revived, such as Isaac Albeniz's 'Merlin' and Ernest Chausson's 'Le roi Artus', both striking post-Wagnerian works in very different styles - 'Merlin', for instance, beginning with a passage based on Gregorian chant. The range of music is wider than one might at first suspect."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Quantitative Literary Analysis of the Works of Aphra Behn written by Laura L. Runge and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphra Behn (1640–1689), prolific and popular playwright, poet, novelist, translator, has a fascinating and extensive corpus of literature that plays a key role in literary history. Quantitative Literary Analysis of the Works of Aphra Behn: Words of Passion offers what no book has done to date, an analysis of all Behn’s literary output. It examines the author’s use of words in terms of frequencies and distributions and stacks the words in context to read Behn’s word usage synchronically. Using this experimental method, the book brings digital humanities into literary criticism, to enhance our understanding and appreciation of literature beyond what is possible in diachronic reading and scholarship less supported by digital means. The empirical approach works in collaboration with existing scholarship to understand Behn’s distinct language of love and extreme passions across her genres.
