Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Drama in the High School Following these observations have succeeded five years of experimenting in the formulation of a course in the history and technique of the drama, which would meet the needs of high school pupils. Even yet, the plan is not en tirely satisfactory - but each class helps me to come a little nearer an adequate working plan, and each of the last three years I have enjoyed the inestimable privilege of courses in history of drama and playwriting under the instruction of Professor G. P. Baker, of Harvard, whose interest and co-operation have been of the greatest aid in all my problems. Without these courses, or their equivalent in individual research, I do not see how it is possible to do justice to work in the drama, an art which is so much misunderstood.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Latin Plays for High-School Students From all these and many other points it is reported that great interest is aroused among the students, pri marily in the fact and production of the play itself, but resulting also in a permanent interest in the more seri ous and regular work of the Latin class. The author of the plays presented in this book has herself already reaped rich rewards of her work in the continued zeal of her students for their Latin study after they have passed on to college. She writes that the boy who played Cicero in the wedding last year is now a freshman in an eastern college, and still finds Latin the work of his greatest interest and success; and the girl who was Tullia in the play is also a freshman in col lege, with zeal and courage enough to attempt the com position of Latin hymns.

Download or read book The School Drama written by James Lukens McConaughy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School Drama: Including Palsgrave's Introduction to Acolastus The School Drama is that dramatic activity which had a definite educational aim; it includes both the writing and acting of plays. In the early period this use of dramatic works for pedagogical purposes was probably an unconscious method of teaching; at its height it was clearly recognized as a means to an end; while today the educational value of our school dramatics is largely neglected, and, in practice, the School Drama hardly exists. In theory, many today urge its use; this study may suggest an historical basis for their recommendation. Although most in uential during the sixteenth and seventeenth cen taries, evidences of the pedagogical use of the drama can be found throughout nearly all the history of education. Its chief activity and most loyal supporters were found in England and Germany, but many other countries of Europe made some use of it. The reason for its existence changed as educational methods advanced; its aims were diverse and changing. In addition to its educational importance, it was in uential in the dramatic history of England and Germany, and the Elizabethan drama owes it a decided debt. All in all, the School Drama presents an interesting and, it is hoped, a profitable subject for study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Both teacher and student will observe that this book makes no attempt to treat comprehensively any particular plays or the work of any particular playwrights, although many plays and many playwrights are drawn on for illustrative material. Rather is the book intended for use in connection with the reading and study of any series of plays in which the teacher or student may be interested. Inevitably, the plays, playwrights, and movements of each major period in the drama are discussed in each of the three parts of the book. But the very full index will make it easy for the reader to turn rapidly to our consideration, under various heads, of a particular play, playwright, or period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preface to Drama: An Introduction to Dramatic Literature and Theater Art To these two parts is added an Appendix containing a variety of supplementary materials: notes for the essays and introductions, queries to stimulate closer reading or discussion, specially devised outline-worksheets to guide disciplined analysis, and suggestions for study and further reading. In a variety of ways, Preface to Drama will serve both those who approach the Drama as one of the major types of Literature and those who approach it as the enduring expression of the Theater. It will serve as an introduction to the drama - whether as a course in English, Speech and Drama, or the Humanities. To acknowledge indebtedness can be a pleasure as well as a duty. Helpful indeed have been the critical suggestions made by those persons who have read the manuscript in whole or in part: Dr. Ray Nichols and Mr. George Stoughton, Dr. And Mrs. Arthur C. Berdahl, Dr. James Marshall and Dr. Benjamin G. Whitten, my wife Edris B. Cooper, and the students in my courses who gave me the benefit of their frank comments. Upon my continuing debt to Dr. I. A. Richards and Dr. Albert W. Upton - too great for payment in full - I make another installment of gratitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Drama Disinterested and clear-sighted, the adult student can usually be trusted to recognize the fundamental issues, and this is certainly true of his attitude to drama. His genuine concern for the value of his visit to the theatre begins with the excitement of asking what passes between an imaginative stage and an intelligent auditorium when the play is in performance. The growing body of such playgoers could endow us with a living theatre beloved and of some account in our society.

Download or read book Macbeth Classic Reprint written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macbeth My notes therefore are queries; with here and there a conventional note to set forth a point I deemed too remote from the range of search possible to youth. I have printed here a considerable number of the questions I would ask, and the topics for exploration I would assign, on the play of Macbeth. By no means, however, would I be understood as having exhausted, -or come any where near exhausting, the stock of possible class-room questioning on this play. It will be easy to think of knotty Shakespearian problems much more perplexing than any I have broached. I may say, however, that I have meant, by my queries, to indicate how far it seems to me in high schools desirable to push the discussion of Shakespearian difficulties. The scope of possible query ing among the easier subjects is of course practically unlimited. To facilitate juvenile research in Shakespeare, the first requisite is free access to the Globe edition of the poet's works. The school should possess Globes enough for the pupils to use without restriction, some carrying the books home at night, and others finding their chance in the study hours. The Crowell Globe Shakespeare is not a handsome book, but it is cheap. The Macmillan Globe costs twice as much and is all of twice as good.
