Download or read book Memoirs of the Life of Henriette Sylvie de Moliere written by Madame de Villedieu and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as Madame de Villedieu, Marie-Catherine Desjardins (ca. 1640-83) was a prolific writer who played an important role in the evolution of the early modern French novel. One of the earliest women to write for a living, she defied cultural convention by becoming an innovator and appealing to popular tastes through fiction, drama, and poetry. Memoirs of the Life of Henriette-Sylvie de Molière, a semi autobiographical novel, portrays an enterprising woman who writes the story of her life, a complex tale that runs counter to social expectations and novelistic conventions. A striking work, the story skillfully mixes real events from the author's life with fictional adventures. At a time when few women published, Villedieu's Memoirs is a significant achievement in creating a voice for the early modern woman writer. Produced while the French novel form was still in its infancy, it should be welcomed by any scholar of women's writing or the early development of the novel.

Book excerpt: "This is an instance where the biographical comes before the novel, a distinct change in the handling of the genre. The author introduces us first to Jean-Baptiste Pocquelin as the eighteen- year-old through with his general education and unwilling to follow his father in the upholstery business. His passion for the theatre requires proving, and from the teachings of the famous clown Scaramouche and admonitions to do comedy, the months at court during the final clashes of Richelieu and Louis XIII, Moliere holds fast and his father accepts his decision. There follow the disastrous attempt in Paris of the Bejart troupe, the years on the road in which Moliere develops as actor and playwright, the triumphant return to receive the favor of Louis XIV in Paris. In private life, there are illustrious friends; Cyrano de Bergerac, Mme. Montespan; there is the scandal of marrying his mistress' daughter, rumored to be his as well, and the heartbreak her infidelity brings; there is the writing of and acting in his great comedies and satires. Care is given to the period with its customs and stars; the plays are noted, though some only perfunctorily; intimacies are stated rather than shared. Readers with highly robust or intellectual tastes should look elsewhere."--Kirkus

Download or read book Moli re s Theatrical Bounty written by Albert Bermel and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring each of Molière's 33 plays (including the divertissements) for its theatrical possibilities, Bermel deals with dramatic structures, settings, roles and their interactions, original productions, and outstanding recent stage performances in France, Britain, and the United States. His emphasis is theatrical rather than literary, philosophical, or biographical, although he necessarily brings these considerations to bear when discussing certain plays. Bermel introduces a new methodology, one featuring the type of scrutiny directors, actors, and designers apply to any play before and during rehearsal. Thus he studies the dramatic implications of each scene or part of a scene by noting which characters are present, which ones are absent, and why. He analyzes each role, explores interactions among characters, traces the significance of structure, considers how much information is provided and who provides it, and examines such notable background factors as setting, season, and scenic arrangement. Using this methodology, Bermel provides new interpretations of Molière's most celebrated plays and demonstrates that many of the less famous plays also deserve attention. Previous Molière critics have been conservative, especially in that they favor traditional stagings; Bermel, however, encourages new explorations of the plays. His main intention is to keep Molière alive and vital for present and future readers and audiences. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his attention to, and sympathy for, female characters and their points of view.

Download or read book Harmony and the Music of the Spheres written by Mariken Teeuwen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ninth century, Martianus Capella's De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, a late-antique encyclopedia of ancient learning on the seven Liberal Arts, was read with scrupulous vigour by the intellectual elite. Carolingian scholars produced a wealth of commentaries and glosses, which survived hidden in the margins of a remarkably large number of manuscripts. In the first part of the book, the manuscript tradition of the oldest commentary is taken under scrutiny, and the Carolingian reception of ancient knowledge on the subject of music is opened up and analyzed. Its relevance for the formation of a new, medieval music theory is evaluated. In the second part, the relevant parts of the oldest commentary are edited on the basis of eight ninth-century manuscripts.

Book excerpt: From the author of The Master and Margarita comes this short and tragic masterpiece about drug addiction Young Dr. Bromgard has come to a small country town to assume a new practice. No sooner has he arrived than he receives word that a colleague, Dr. Polyakov, has fallen gravely ill. Before Bromgard can go to his friend’s aid, Polyakov is brought to his practice in the middle of the night with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and, barely conscious, gives Bromgard his journal before dying. What Bromgard uncovers in the entries is Polyakov’s uncontrollable and merciless descent into morphine addiction — his first injection to ease his back pain, the thrill of the drug as it overtakes him, the looming signs of addiction, and the feverish final entries before his death.
