Download or read book Valentine and Orson A Romantic Melo Drame written by Thomas Dibdin and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the medieval romance of Valentine and Orson, this work is a melodrama by Thomas John Dibdin. It is the story of twin brothers abandoned in the woods shortly after their birth. Valentine was brought up as a knight at the court of Pepin, while Orson grows up in a bear's den to be a wild man living in the woods. He is later overcome and toned down by Valentine. The romance of Valentine and Orson is often linked with the Carolingian cycle. It has been adapted and re-written in most European languages in some form or another. English dramatist and songwriter Thomas Dibdin (1771-1841) wrote this adaptation in 1804, which was later performed at the Theatres Royal Covent Garden, Haymarket, and Bath.

And he has an irresistible call on the loyalty of Earth's young warriors. With Bean at his side, the two will reshape our future.

Download or read book Scott Chaucer and Medieval Romance written by Jerome Mitchell and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the influence of Shakespeare on Sir Walter Scott has long been recognized, the importance of medieval literature in shaping his creative imagination has never before been examined in depth. Jerome Mitchell's new book fills this significant gap through a wide-ranging study of Scott's indebtedness to Chaucer and to medieval romance, especially the Middle English romances, for story-patterns, motifs, character types, style and structure, and detail. Mitchell establishes more completely and accurately than any previous critic the extent of Scott's knowledge of medieval literature. His examination of Scott's poetry, especially the long narrative poems, demonstrates their debt to Chaucer and medieval romance. The heart of the book is a detailed analysis of the Waverley Novels. Scott's debt to medieval literature, Mitchell shows, was vast, profound, and elemental; it is the single most important source area for the Waverley Novels, their warp and woof. Moreover, it is probably the key to Scott's immense appeal—the very dimension which enabled him to cast an everlasting spell on his contemporaries, even on such great men as Byron and Goethe, and which has charmed generations of readers to the present day. This pioneering book, based on extensive research in Scotland, including Sir Walter Scott's personal library, sheds new light on the narrative substance and texture of Scott's poems and novels. Both the general reader and the serious student will derive from it a more informed appreciation of Scott's impressive achievement.

Download or read book The Generation of Edward Hyde written by Jay Bland and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde first appeared in 1886. Readers at the time commented on three major influences at work on the text: Darwinism, the Bible, and Platonism. With the passage of time commentators have tended to focus on either the Darwinian or the biblical implications surrounding Hyde, and the Platonic implications have been more or less overlooked. For a full understanding of Hyde all three must be considered; and they must all be considered together. This book locates Robert Louis Stevenson's Edward Hyde within the history of ideas. It examines a range of texts from earlier literature involving apes or ape-like creatures, thereby revealing a tradition which explores and questions the origins of mankind - theological, philosophical, and scientific - in an attempt to account for the presence of our lower impulses. The chosen texts show that, as knowledge of the natural world increases through exploration and scientific learning, earlier ways of looking at the world have accommodated new ideas by absorbing the new and incorporating it into the old mythological framework. The author demonstrates how this tradition feeds naturally into Stevenson's text, providing a Darwinian-biblical-Platonic context within which to examine Hyde.
