Download or read book The English Stage written by J. L. Styan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-13 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English Stage tells the story of drama through its many changes in style and convention from medieval times to the present day. With a wide sweep of coverage, John Styan analyses the key features of staging, including early street theatre and public performance, the evolution of the playhouse and the private space, and the pairing of theory and stagecraft in the works of modern dramatists. He focuses on the conventions by which a playwright, actors and their audience create the phenomenon of theatre and the way such conventions have changed over time. Styan can be considered among a small number of influential scholars who have helped to develop theatre history from its origins in literary studies into an independent and respected field. From the vantage point of a lifetime's study he examines and illustrates the multitude of factors which have brought and continue to bring plays to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English Stage: From Its Beginnings to the Summer of the Year 1908 In the following pages an attempt has been made to give, within a reasonable compass, a connected history of the development of the English theatre from the days of Miracle Plays to the present time. This is, of course, necessarily involved with the history of the English drama; but I have as far as possible dealt with the drama only as incidental to my subject, which is the history of English theatres and English acting. The compiler of such a book must of necessity be under heavy obligations to previous workers in the same field. I acknowledge gratefully my large indebtedness to Genest, Doran, Fleay, Fitzgerald, Barton Baker, and the numerous authors of monographs on individual theatres or actors. For much of the matter contained in my opening chapter I am indebted to A. W. Pollard's valuable introduction to his edition of English Miracle Plays. In dealing with so large a subject in a comparatively small space, it is obviously impossible to be exhaustive. I have omitted mention of obscure and extinct theatres whose history has no special bearing on that of the stage, and similar considerations will explain why Grand Opera and the Variety Theatres have seemed to me to be outside the scope of the present volume.
