Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retrospections of America, 1797-1811 On his retirement from the stage and return to England, Bernard began the preparation of his biography; and about a year before his death he completed the work, but, as his son tells us, in too voluminous a state for publication. His son was the late W. Bayle Bernard, who was born in Boston, Mass, in 1808, and died in Lon don, England, in 1875. He began life as an actor, but soon turned critic and dramatist, and was the author of the Nervous Man, the Dumb Belle, and His Lost Legs. For Hackett he wrote the earliest drama of Rip Van Winkle, and for Yankee Hill, Silsbee, and other American character actors, he wrote many other plays which entitle him to be considered one of the inventors of the Stage Yankee. After John Bernard's death, in 1828, Bayle Bernard selected and condensed from his father's autobiography the interesting Retrospections of the Stage, by the Late John Bernard, Manager of the American Theatres, and formerly Secretary of the Beefsteak Club. 2 vols. Lon don, Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, This work met with great and instant success, and is still high ly prized by all collectors of theatrical literature on both sides of the Atlantic. It was republished by Carter 85 Hendee, in Boston, in 1832, but both editions have been long out of print.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare on Stage written by Stanley Wells and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2002 Companion is designed for readers interested in past and present productions of Shakespeare's plays, both in and beyond Britain. The first six chapters describe aspects of the British performing tradition in chronological sequence, from the early staging of Shakespeare's own time, through to the present day. Each relates Shakespearean developments to broader cultural concerns and adopts an individual approach and focus, on textual adaptation, acting, stages, scenery or theatre management. These are followed by three explorations of acting: tragic and comic actors and women performers of Shakespeare roles. A section on international performance includes chapters on interculturalism, on touring companies and on political theatre, with separate accounts of the performing traditions of North America, Asia and Africa. Over forty pictures illustrate peformers and productions of Shakespeare from around the world. An amalgamated list of items for further reading completes the book.
Download or read book The Road to Monticello written by Kevin J. Hayes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson was an avid book-collector, a voracious reader, and a gifted writer--a man who prided himself on his knowledge of classical and modern languages and whose marginal annotations include quotations from Euripides, Herodotus, and Milton. And yet there has never been a literary life of our most literary president. In The Road to Monticello, Kevin J. Hayes fills this important gap by offering a lively account of Jefferson's spiritual and intellectual development, focusing on the books and ideas that exerted the most profound influence on him. Moving chronologically through Jefferson's life, Hayes reveals the full range and depth of Jefferson's literary passions, from the popular "small books" sold by traveling chapmen, such as The History of Tom Thumb, which enthralled him as a child; to his lifelong love of Aesop's Fables and Robinson Crusoe; his engagement with Horace, Ovid, Virgil and other writers of classical antiquity; and his deep affinity with the melancholy verse of Ossian, the legendary third-century Gaelic warrior-poet. Drawing on Jefferson's letters, journals, and commonplace books, Hayes offers a wealth of new scholarship on the print culture of colonial America, reveals an intimate portrait of Jefferson's activities beyond the political chamber, and reconstructs the president's investigations in such different fields of knowledge as law, history, philosophy and natural science. Most importantly, Hayes uncovers the ideas and exchanges which informed the thinking of America's first great intellectual and shows how his lifelong pursuit of knowledge culminated in the formation of a public offering, the "academic village" which became UVA, and his more private retreat at Monticello. Gracefully written and painstakingly researched, The Road to Monticello provides an invaluable look at Jefferson's intellectual and literary life, uncovering the roots of some of the most important--and influential--ideas that have informed American history.
