Download or read book The Restoration Stage Classic Reprint written by John I. McCollum Jr. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Restoration Stage Sir William Davenant was able to keep the theater alive in London by gain ing quiet permission from Puritan officials to stage private performances at Rutland House. The most notable presentation during the interim was his Siege of Rhodes reflecting the French influence and representing the beginning of the heroic drama - a form that Dryden and Howard were to employ so successfully after the Restoration. Davenant's contribution to the English theater is a significant one. He was a bridge from the older Elizabethan Jacobean tradition, as well as a major entrepreneur and a highly imaginative innovator. Whereas men and boys had previously taken the female roles, Davenant introduced women upon the public stage. He also borrowed the use of elaborate scenery from the court masques, and further increased variety in his plays by adding music. After the Restoration, Charles II granted a patent to Davenant in 1660 to produce plays at the Salisbury Court Theatre as the Duke of York's Company. At the same time Thomas Killigrew was granted a similar patent to form a company as the King's Men at the Theatre Royal. Thus the theater was re stored and a stimulating and lively era was under way. During the next twenty two years these two theaters became rivals for the small London audiences. A capacity audience for one house often meant empty seats in the other. Finally, in 1682, the Duke's Company absorbed the King's Men to form the United Company, and for the next thirteen years it alone provided London's drama. The era was. Nevertheless a significant one in theater structure and in stage practice, a period of inspired acting and celebrated personalities. Charles II himself provided royal patronage for the theater: often in the audience and intimate with the players, he mediated between conflicting wrongs, and even outfitted the players from his own wardrobe. The court, the new theaters and scenery, the histrionic power of the actors, the charm and appeal of the actresses all made the theater a glittering affair. It is no wonder that Pepys was so often drawn to the playhouses in spite of the pressures of business, the pull of ambition, and the restraint and condemnation of his conscience.

Download or read book Restoration Staging 1660 74 written by Tim Keenan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoration Staging 1660–74 cuts through prevalent ideas of Restoration theatre and drama to read early plays in their original theatrical contexts. Tim Keenan argues that Restoration play texts contain far more information about their own performance than previously imagined. Focusing on specific productions and physical staging at the three theatres operating in the first years of the Restoration – Vere Street, Bridges Street and Lincoln’s Inn Fields – Keenan analyses stage directions, scene headings and other performance clues embedded in the play-texts themselves. These close readings shed new light on staging practices of the period, building a radical new model of early Restoration staging. Restoration Staging, 1660–74 takes account of all extant new plays written for or premiered at three of London’s early theatres, presenting a much-needed reassessment of early Restoration drama.

It was objected to this play that there seems not sufficient ground for those strong and stinging re proaches which Phocyas casts upon himself; nor for Eudocia's rejecting of him with so much severity it would have been more rational (considering the frailty of human nature and the violent temptations he lay under) if he had been at last prevailed on to profess himself a Mahometan for then his remorse and, self-condemnation would have been natural and his punishment just, and the character of Eudocia placed in a more amiable light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Restoration of the Gospel The following chapters on the subject of the Restoration are the outcome of an invitation to write, during the winter of 1910-11, a series of lessons for the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association. Chapters two to nineteen, inclusive, were written for the Association and were printed, substantially as they appear in this book, in the Young Woman's Journal. Chapters one, twenty, twenty-one and twenty-three, were prepared especially for this volume. Chapter twenty-two appeared as an independent article in the Improvement Era some years ago. The brief treatment of the Restoration of the Gospel herewith presented to the public is not intended to be in any wise a history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is at most a story of the Restoration. It presumes at the outset that something has been restored. It relates how this something was restored. Every missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has met these two questions when he has preached abroad the Gospel of the Restoration: - What was restored? How was it restored? These two questions the following chapters attempt to answer in part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
