Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary, Queen of Tragedy: A Tragedy in Three Acts Mr. Swinburne's Mary Stuart is a libel not only on the Queen's. Character, but on her wit. He not only takes the View of her conduct as a wife, which Elizabeth and her Ministers so long and so successfully laboured to produce on the minds of their own generation, and which there 15 not a particle of real evidence to support, but he makes the most brilliant and accomplished princess of her age an almost insulfer able bore. The greatest woman the human race has ever produced, a, woman who in intellect, learning, literary and political ability, and energy, surpassed almost all the men of her time, as much as she ex celled other women in grace and beauty, is made to maunder through page after page of dreary platitudes, to drone out line after line of often indifferent iambics, till the reader feels that her murderers may almost be forgiven, for that nothing but death could adequately punish such* interminable prolixity. Where such great writers have failed, and, in Spite of his Mary Stuart trilogy, the author of Atalanta is a great writer, it is doubt less presumption of me to hope that I may succeed.

Download or read book Suppliant Women written by Euripides and published by Greek Tragedy in New Translations. This book was released on 1995 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Under the editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text, full stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the plays. Already tested in performance on the stage, this translation shows for the first time in English the striking interplay of voices in Euripides' Suppliant Women. Torn between the mothers' lament over the dead and proud civic eulogy, between calls for a just war and grief for the fallen, the play captures with unremitting force the competing poles of the human psyche. The translators, Rosanna Warren and Stephen Scully, accentuate the contrast between female lament and male reasoned discourse in this play where the silent dead hold, finally, center stage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramana: A Romance of the Stage Ah, how true are the words of the Bard of Avon! All the world is a stage for the many and varied scenes of comedy and tragedy, of melodrama and farce. Actors of to-day are striving for truism, for realism. Acting, appealing to the differ ent emotions of man, is regarded as one of the fine arts, and is rightly classed so. The tragedies of life are in themselves too realistic, and, to think of it, there is very little comedy in a worldly existence. Yet why should man cry out against the tragedies in life? Sorrows must come. The Great One so ordained it. The dark clouds have their silver linings and the great shadows only in tensify the more the glorious golden sun shine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sublime Tragedy of the Lost Cause The story of the old soldier; whose silvery locks Were lovingly mingled with the golden hair Of a beautiful girl who was sleeping there On his battle-scarred breast. The great civil war of America - that heroic struggle of the southern people in defence of the Lost Cause, against the stupendous power of the North, wielded in support of the Federal Union - furnished many a tragic incident of sellsacrifice and noble devotion, worthy to be celebrated in song or woven into the fabric of romance; but there is no private history - of which I know anything as full of dramatic effects as the one I now propose to relate. Nor can I think of one more closely interwoven with those great events that have rendered this beautiful region historic events that transpired, my child, before your fair face had made the world brighter, or these golden curls had coiled themselves so closely around your grandfather's heart.
