Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wooden Os is a study of the presence of trees and wood in the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries – in plays set within forests, in character dialogue, and in props and theatre constructions. Vin Nardizzi connects these themes to the dependence, and surprising ecological impact, of London’s commercial theatre industry on England’s woodlands, the primary resource required to build all structures in early modern England. Wooden Os situates the theatre within an environmental history that witnessed a perceived scarcity of wood and timber that drove up prices, as well as statute law prohibiting the devastation of English woodlands and urgent calls for the remedying of a resource shortage that was feared would result in eco-political collapse. By considering works including Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, the revised Spanish Tragedy, and The Tempest, Nardizzi demonstrates how the “trees” within them were used in imaginative ways to mediate England’s resource crisis.

Book excerpt: In the heart of a dense, ancient forest, there stood a cabin shrouded in darkness, an abyss of secrets waiting to be unraveled. It was a place of serenity, a haven away from the chaos of the world, or so Daniel thought. He and his wife, Sarah, decided to escape their mundane lives for a vacation in this rustic cabin, hoping to rekindle their dwindling connection. Daniel, a brilliant songwriter known for his haunting melodies, longed for inspiration, and this remote retreat seemed like the perfect place to find it. Yet, the cabin's eerie silence only intensified the unease he carried with him. From the moment they arrived, an overwhelming feeling of dread began to creep upon him, his soul whispering that the dark had always been his greatest adversary. On the first night, they cozied up by the roaring fireplace, the flames casting flickering shadows that seemed to dance to the rhythm of the howling wind outside. Daniel strummed his guitar, seeking refuge in his music. But as the melody flowed from his fingers, it carried with it an eerie resonance, as if the forest itself was singing along, an audience of unseen spirits. The second night brought with it a tempestuous storm, the thunderclaps shaking the cabin to its very foundation. Daniel awoke to find Sarah missing. Panic gripped his heart, and he called out her name, his voice echoing through the cabin's empty chambers, but there was no response. Outside, the relentless rain blurred the world into obscurity, and the dark forest seemed to devour all sound. The oppressive darkness became Daniel's only companion, pressing down on him like a heavy cloak, its suffocating presence making it impossible to think clearly. He stumbled through the cabin, every shadow morphing into a nightmarish specter, each creaking floorboard a tormenting whisper. The oppressive stillness was broken only by the sound of his heartbeat, which reverberated through the cabin like a relentless drumbeat. Desperation led him into the forest, rain-soaked and trembling, but the dense canopy seemed to absorb any trace of his surroundings. Time itself became a nebulous concept, and the cabin, a distant memory. Daniel was a lost soul wandering in a surreal nightmare, where the dark was both his tormentor and his muse. As the days turned into weeks, he struggled to distinguish reality from the hallucinations that plagued his every step. The cabin became a prison of nightmares, and the forest, a labyrinth of despair. His songs became unhinged, a chaotic symphony of madness, and the shadows clung to him like a curse. The story of Daniel and Sarah, the songwriter and his lost wife, faded into the annals of legend, a chilling tale told to those who dared venture into the heart of that ancient forest. For in that cabin, the boundaries between reality and nightmare blurred, and the dark devoured not only the light but the very essence of those who dared to enter its realm.

Download or read book The Echoing Woods written by E. Kegel-Brinkgreve and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time since more than ninety years a survey is offered of bucolic and pastoral, extending from the classical mainspring of the genre to the English 18th cen-tury. The emphasis is on the genre itself, the role of imitation in constituting and maintaining its identity, and on the Renaissance extension from bucolic to the wider and more diffuse phenomenon of pastoral. Therefore the seminal role of Theocritus, Virgil, Dante, Petrarch, Sannazaro, Tasso, and in England Spenser and Sidney is highlighted by means of an analysis of their works in this vein. The subject is of interest for classical scholars who want to become acquainted with the Renaissance revival and mutation of an ancient genre, and for students of English and comparative literature who want to study the important classical sources and the development of pastoral in English literature from 1578 up to the end of the eighteenth century.

Book excerpt: From The Pastoral Players' 1884 performance of As You Like It to contemporary site-specific productions activist interventions, there is a rich history of open air performances of Shakespeare's plays beyond their early modern origins. Weathering Shakespeare reveals how new insights from the environmental humanities can transform our understanding of this popular performance practice.
