Download or read book Dramatic Monologue written by Glennis Byron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic monologue is traditionally associated with Victorian poets such as Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson, and is generally considered to have disappeared with the onset of modernism in the twentieth century. Glennis Byron unravels its history and argues that, contrary to belief, the monologue remains popular to this day. This far-reaching and neatly structured volume: * explores the origins of the monologue and presents a history of definitions of the term * considers the monologue as a form of social critique * explores issues at play in our understanding of the genre, such as subjectivity, gender and politics * traces the development of the genre through to the present day. Taking as example the increasingly politicized nature of contemporary poetry, the author clearly and succinctly presents an account of the monologue's growing popularity over the past twenty years.
Download or read book Dramatic Monologue Routledge Revivals written by Alan Sinfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, this book looks at the versatile literary form of dramatic monologue. Although it is often associated with Browning and other poets writing between 1830 and 1930, the concept has been employed by diverse poets of multiple periods such as Ovid, Chaucer, Donne, Blake, Wordsworth, Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes. In this study, Alan Sinfield demonstrates and analyses the range and adaptability of the form through detailed examples. He shows that the technique maintains a shifting and uncertain balance between the voices of the poet and of his created speaker; when extended, as in Maud, Amours de Voyage, The Ring and the Book, and The Wasteland, the use of dramatic monologue raises questions of personality and perception. In the second part of the text, the author discusses the origins of Victorian and Modernist dramatic monologue in the dramatic complaint and the Ovidian verse epistle of earlier periods, offering a new interpretation of the value of dramatic monologue to Browning and Tennyson. Through his writing, Alan Sinfield successfully highlights the eternal vibrance of the form.
Download or read book From Courts to Dungeons written by Martin Jago and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection of classical monologues for men and women celebrates the literary strength of the Elizabethan and Jacobean state, including writers who seldom escape the shadow of Shakespeare's glory, yet who have provided some of the finest dramatic writing in the English language, "From Court to Dungeons" is unique in other ways too. Unlike many monologue books, it unifies the speeches in a body of work that is linked by setting. As the title suggests, the drama in this book comes from the distinct perspective of the characters caught in the most desperate of circumstances: victims or victors, they are in the grip of the justice system, be it on trial or languishing in prison, facing execution or standing guard.

Download or read book The Ring and the Book written by Robert Browning and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ring and the Book is a long dramatic narrative poem, and, more specifically, a verse novel, of 21,000 lines, written by Robert Browning. It was published in four volumes from 1868 to 1869 by Smith, Elder & Co. The book tells the story of a murder trial in Rome in 1698, whereby an impoverished nobleman, Count Guido Franceschini, is found guilty of the murders of his young wife Pompilia Comparini and her parents, having suspected his wife was having an affair with a young cleric, Giuseppe Caponsacchi. Having been found guilty despite his protests and sentenced to death, Franceschini then appeals—unsuccessfully—to Pope Innocent XII to overturn the conviction. The poem comprises twelve books, nine of which are dramatic monologues spoken by a different narrator involved in the case (Count Guido speaks twice), usually giving a different account of the same events, and two books (the first and the last) spoken by the author. Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets.
Download or read book Staging the Trials of Modernism written by Dale Barleben and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Staging the Trials of Modernism, Dale Barleben explores the interactions among literature, cultural studies, and the law through detailed analyses of select British modern writers including Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, and James Joyce. By tracing the relationships between the literature, authors, media, and judicial procedure of the time, Barleben illuminates the somewhat macabre element of modern British trial process, which still enacts and re-enacts itself throughout contemporary judicial systems of the British Commonwealth. Using little seen legal documents, like Ford's contempt trial decision, Staging the Trials of Modernism uncovers the conversations between the interior style of British Modern authors and the ways in which law began rethinking concepts like intent and the subconscious. Barleben’s fresh insights offer a nuanced look into the ways in which law influences literary production.
Download or read book The Treason Trial of Aaron Burr written by R. Kent Newmyer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Burr treason trial, one of the greatest criminal trials in American history, was significant for several reasons. The legal proceedings lasted seven months and featured some of the nation's best lawyers. It also pitted President Thomas Jefferson (who declared Burr guilty without the benefit of a trial and who masterminded the prosecution), Chief Justice John Marshall (who sat as a trial judge in the federal circuit court in Richmond) and former Vice President Aaron Burr (who was accused of planning to separate the western states from the Union) against each other. At issue, in addition to the life of Aaron Burr, were the rights of criminal defendants, the constitutional definition of treason and the meaning of separation of powers in the Constitution. Capturing the sheer drama of the long trial, Kent Newmyer's book sheds new light on the chaotic process by which lawyers, judges and politicians fashioned law for the new nation.

Book excerpt: Johnny Cool was living in Chicago known as " The Windy City". He was the king of the city, a big time pimp turn drug dealer. Johnny was at the top of his game, making money hand over fist. He sold so much cocaine, he was known all over the city as the "Ice Man". The street name suited him just fine (although he perferred to be called Johnny Cool). The name Ice Man came from his dealing with drugs. Johnny was making a fortune running both women and drugs. Although pimping was more of his style and class. Being known as a drug dealer was beginning to leave a bad taste in his mouth. In fact Johnny was looking for a way to get out of the whole game completely. This was a place where pimps could talk pimping and brag about how much money their whores were making. All the cool people love coming to Johnny's Place (he was the pimp of pimps). Everybody loved Johnny Cool, they just loved to hear him talk about pimping. All the women loved watching him (it was the perfect place for a pimp). The club was where Johnny loved being most (it was the best move he every made). They knew Johnny was Don Juan's friend. They had also heard the Senator may have had something to do with his killing. They were well aware of the fact of what happen to his daughter. The trial for Don Juan being charge with statutory rape of the Senator's daughter was well publicize. So when the Senator came up missing (even through he was from New York), the name Johnny Cool just seemed to come up.
Download or read book Theatre on Trial written by Anna McMullan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1993, is the first full-length analysis of Samuel Beckett’s later drama in the context of contemporary critical and performance theory. It employs a close, textual examination of the later plays as a springboard for exploring ideas around authority, gender and the ideology of performance. Recent work in the world of critical theory has suggested new ways of looking at performance practice. McMullan argues that, while contemporary theory can deepen our understanding of Beckett’s dramatic practice, his drama places performance in the context of a metaphysical history and a metatheatrical tradition, thereby confronting and provoking some of the central debates in performance studies’ engagement with critical theory.
