Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive annotated bibliography of works by and about Bernard Shaw. No book has appeared before that has surveyed all of the research and writing that the life and work of Bernard Shaw have evoked. The greatest dramaturgist in English after Shakespeare, Shaw was one of the dominant public figures of his time, a long lifetime (1856-1950) that began in the mid-Victorian period and extended into the Atomic Age. Inevitably, someone who straddled his age so visibly and so memorably, and whose works retain a continuing fascination, has been the subject of thousands of articles and hundreds of books, from criticism of individual works to multivolume biographies, editions, and studies. Stanley Weintraub has distilled his forty years of experience of Shaw studies to bring them into useful focus and sort out the significant writings from the burgeoning mass of publications. This book is an essential tool for both scholars and general readers interested in the multifarious world of Shaw. Readers will not only find out what has been done, but what still remains to be accomplished in Shaw studies; what Shaw's influence has been on other writers; even where Shaw has appeared as a character in other writers' poetry, fiction, and drama.

Download or read book On the Discourse of Satire written by Paul Simpson and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-11-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances a model for the analysis of contemporary satirical humour. Combining a range of theoretical frameworks in stylistics, pragmatics and discourse analysis, Simpson examines both the methods of textual composition and the strategies of interpretation for satire. Verbal irony is central to the model, in respect of which Simpson isolates three principal “ironic phases” that shape the uptake of satirical humour. Throughout the book, consistent emphasis is placed on satire’s status as a culturally situated discursive practice, while the categories of the model proposed are amply illustrated with textual examples. A notable feature of the book is a chapter on the legal implications of using satirical humour as a weapon of attack in the public domain. A book where Jonathan Swift meets Private Eye magazine, this entertaining and thought-provoking study will interest those working in stylistics, humorology, pragmatics and discourse analysis. It also has relevance for forensic discourse analysis, and for media, literary and cultural studies.
Download or read book Candida written by George Bernard Shaw and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Candida" by George Bernard Shaw is a captivating play that delves into themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations. Set in Victorian England, the play revolves around the complex dynamics of the relationship between Candida, a strong-willed and independent woman, and her husband, Reverend James Morell, a charismatic but self-absorbed clergyman. At the heart of the story is the arrival of Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet who becomes infatuated with Candida and challenges the conventions of love and marriage. As Marchbanks professes his love for Candida, tensions rise, and the characters confront their own desires, insecurities, and conflicting loyalties. Shaw uses sharp wit and incisive dialogue to explore the power dynamics within the Morell household and to dissect the illusions of romantic love and marital bliss. Through Candida's character, Shaw challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations, presenting her as a symbol of female agency and independence. As the drama unfolds, Shaw invites audiences to question the nature of love, the meaning of marriage, and the dynamics of power in relationships. "Candida" is celebrated for its complex characters, witty repartee, and thought-provoking themes, cementing Shaw's reputation as one of the most influential playwrights of the 20th century.

Download or read book Education Arts and Morality written by Doris B. Wallace and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Howard Gruber’s Evolving Systems Approach, these studies explore creativity in several domains. The idea that the creative person embodies a system of loosely coupled sub-systems – knowledge, purpose, and affect that work together, is viewed here in different chapters that explore this concept. These include autobiographies of incarcerated youth, curricula for moral and civic responsibility, changing attitudes of readers to text (romance novels), as well as case studies of highly creative individuals, such as George Bernard Shaw. Gruber’s approach provides concepts as well as methodological tools which the authors apply to diverse creative processes. This book is a valuable resource for undergraduate as well as graduate level students interested in creativity, development, and education. In addition to the intrinsic interest of each chapter, the guiding theme of the book is the underlying theory of creativity, Gruber’s Evolving Systems Approach, and illustrates the unusual breadth and flexibility of that theory.

Download or read book Six Dramatists in Search of a Language written by Andrew K. Kennedy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1975-01-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this penetrating study Andrew Kennedy sets out to analyse the modern movement in drama through the theatrical language of six key figures writing in English - Shaw, Eliot, Beckett, Pinter, Osborne and Arden. Dr Kennedy argues that a study of theatrical language should be an exercise in 'practical criticism' and not merely narrowly linguistic. The whole range of theatrical expressiveness must be examined in detail from play text and performance alike and the conclusions correlated with the author's known intentions if a full evaluative judgement is to be attempted. Dr Kennedy shows how the modern movement in drama reveals a growing difficulty in creating any type of fully expressive dramatic language. He has written a work with an unusual breadth of reference, which should prove of value to all students of modern drama, modern English and European literature and to the theatre-going public.
Download or read book ESSENCE OF LITERATURE written by Dr. Umar Farooque and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential of Literature Thought, Feeling, Imagination and beauty are the essential ingredients of literature. Literature is one among the foremost powerful instruments for forming character. Writers teach us to understand man and know attribute. “Literature may be a record of the simplest thoughts.” - Emerson. Literature is that the artistic expression of thought which is replete with feeling and imagination. “Literature consists of all the books where moral truth and human passion are touched with a selected largeness, sanity and attraction of form.” - Lord Morley. Literature heightens our awareness of human life. Literature enables us to seem at nature with new eyes. Literature interprets with charm of language the experiences and spiritual intuitions of man. Writers teach us to understand man and know attribute. “Great literature is straightforward language charged with going to the utmost possible degree.” - Emerson. Literature could also be a record of man’s dreams and ideals, his hopes and aspirations, his failures and disappointments, his motives and passions, his experiences and observations. It appeals to the widest human interests and thus the only human emotions. It knows no nationality, nor any bounds save those of humanity. In a nutshell, thought, feeling, imagination and beauty of style and form are all equally essential to literature. Here we quote, Lowes Dickinson, “To feel, and in order to express, or at least to understand the expression of all that is lovely in Nature, of all that is poignant and sensitive in man, is to us in itself a sufficient end. A rose in a moonlight garden, the shadow of trees on the turf, almond blossom, scent of pine, the wine cup and guitar, these are the pathos of life and death- to all or any this stuff we are trained to reply , and therefore the response is what we call literature.
