Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of John O'keeffe, Esq., Vol. 2 of 4 What can we now invite you to partake, When realms have been exhausted for your sake, And ample Nature travers'd o'er and o'er, 'Till all her beaten haunts will yield no more? From climes where Ph bus pours his brightest ray To where scarce saintly gleams the twilight day, The dauntless Bard has urg'd his vent'rous aim, To greet you till with fresh Dramatic game. One noble Hunter, of the Thespian train, Rush'd from his Avons's side o'er earthsss domain, And brought with happy Magic, more than toil, The motley tribes of ev'ry varying soil; While his quick eye so widely could explore That Time himself, mail ne'er discover more: Nay, in the track of his sublime career, We pass the bounds of Natures humble sphere; And zealous after all our search has found, Through radiant wilds of Fancy's fairy ground; Once more the arduous chace we dare pursue, And fondly hope we've harted something new. Our Hero, for so far we may discover, Is a young Actor, and of course a lover! But, what, perhaps, will raise no flight surprise! Though used to various shapes, above disguise. Fictitious language, of a borrow'd part, Sports from his tongue, indeed, but not his heart! For Nature's warm and absolute controul Guides ev'ry impulse of his gen'rous soul. Sure such a pat your favour must engage, And though a stranger on the mimic stage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Women in Wartime written by Paula R. Backscheider and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory history of the characters that playwrights and managers created out of the real lives of women in intimate relationships with military men to serve Great Britain's greatest needs during the war-saturated eighteenth century. During the long eighteenth century, Great Britain was almost continuously at war. As the era unfolded, the theatre gradually discovered the potential in having actresses, recently introduced to the stage in the 1660s, perform as wartime women characters. As playwrights and managers began casting women in transformative roles to meet each major national need, female characters came to be central figures in bringing the war home to the nation, transforming them into deeply patriotic British subjects. Paula Backscheider's Women in Wartime is the first study of theatrical representations of women with intimate connections to military men. Drawing upon her extensive expertise in gender, performance studies, popular culture, and archival studies, Backscheider traces the rise of the London theatre's acceptance that one of its responsibilities was to support its country's wars. Rather than focusing on the historical, mythical "warrior women" on the battlefield who have been much studied, Backscheider explores the lives and work of sweethearts, wives, mothers, sisters, barmaids, provision sellers, seaport prostitutes, and more, whose relationships to active-duty men made them recruits, volunteers, or even conscripts. They represent a distinct group of thousands of real women, and the actresses who portrayed them gave performances of change, struggle, celebration, mourning, survival, love, and patriotism. Backscheider explicates more than fifty plays—from main pieces, short farces, interludes, afterpieces, and comic operas to entr'actes, pantomimes, and even masques—as both entertainment and as ideological and propagandistic vehicles in times of severe crises. She also reveals how these works, many written by men with military experience, attest to the context of difficult, inescapable realities and momentous needs. Through the debunking of sexual stereotypes and attention to audience-pleasing roles such as impoverished-wife and breeches parts, Backscheider adds a dimension to theatrical history that substantially contributes to women's and military histories. Women in Wartime demonstrates the startling acuity and prescience of the repertoire in responding to the war-steeped culture of the period.
Download or read book Owning Performance Performing Ownership written by Jane Wessel and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1710, England’s first copyright law gave authors the ability to own their works, but it was not until 1833 that literary property law was extended to protect dramatic performance. Between these dates, generations of playwrights grappled for control over their intellectual property in a cultural and legal environment that treated print differently from performance. As ownership became a central concern for many, actors fought to possess their dramatic parts exclusively, playwrights struggled to control and profit from repeat performances of their works, and managers tried to gain a monopoly over the performance of profitable plays. Owning Performance follows the careers of some of the 18th century’s most influential playwrights, actors, and theater managers as they vied for control over the period’s most popular shows. Without protection for dramatic literary property, these figures developed creative extra-legal strategies for controlling the performance of drama—quite literally performing their ownership. Their various strategies resulted in a culture of ephemerality, with many of the period’s most popular works existing only in performance and manuscript copies. Author Jane Wessel explores how playwrights and actors developed strategies for owning their works and how, in turn, theater managers appropriated these strategies, putting constant pressure on artists to innovate. Owning Performance reveals the wide-reaching effects of property law on theatrical culture, tracing a turn away from print that affected the circulation, preservation, and legacy of 18th century drama.
