Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plain Talk About the Theater The demands of Christianity have been construed as an insult to intelligence. It has been sought to make the claims of Christian faith appear as an unwarranted encroachment upon the domain of reason. And multitudes have believed that the religion of Obrist called for a blind credulity and a surrender of intel lectual freedom. A sad 'and wicked perversion of God's truth, and a blasphemous assumption of author ity and power, seeking its intensest expression in the dogma of papal infallibility, have undoubtedly done much to warrant this belief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from About the Theater My Dear Augustus: Let me begin by confessing my regret that I cannot overhear your first remark when you receive this sheaf of essays, many of which are devoted to the subordinate subdivisions of the art of the stage. As it is, I can only imagine your surprise at discovering that this book, which contains papers dealing with certain aspects of the theater rarely considered to be worthy of criticism, is signed by the occupant of the earliest chair to be established in any American university specifically for the study of dramatic literature. I fancy I can hear the expression of your wonder that a sexagenarian professor should turn aside from his austere analysis of the genius of Sophocles and of Shakspere, of Moliere and of Ibsen, to discuss the minor arts of the dancer and the acrobat, to chatter about the conjurer and the negro minstrel, to consider the principles of pantomime and the development of scene-painting. But I am emboldened to hope that your surprise will be only momentary, and that you will be moved to acknowledge that perhaps there may be some advantage to be derived from these deviations into the by-paths of stage history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Film and Theatre This book has been written equally in the service of the theatre and in that of the film. Now that the first excite ment attendant upon the cinema's growth has passed away, there seems to have come a time when we ought to pause and consider the position which the theatre must occupy during the years immediately to follow, in the midst of conditions essentially divergent from those prevailing three decades ago. During the course of those thirty years the film has slowly and with infinite labour been discovering its true field of expression. The more strenuous tasks com plered, we have just arrived at a period when this field can be analysed calmly and its value assessed, when, too, it is possible, by comparison with cinematic aims, to clarify and determine the essentials, aims and methods which it seems the theatre's business to pursue.

Download or read book Shakespeare in the Theatre Classic Reprint written by William Poel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in the Theatre The interdependence of Shakespeare's dramatic art with the form of theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays is seldom emphasized. The ordinary reader and the everyday critic have no historic knowledge of the Elizabethan playhouse; and however full the Elizabethan dramas may be of allusions to the contemporary stage, the bias of modern dramatic students is so opposed to any belief in the superiority of past methods of acting Shakespeare over modern ones, as to effectually bar any serious inquiry. A few sceptics have recognized dimly that a conjoint study of Shakespeare and the stage for which he wrote is possible; but they have not conducted their researches either seriously or impartially, and their conclusions have proved disputable and disappointing.
