Book excerpt: With few exceptions, commentaries on the four plays of William Wycherley are surface in nature and do not offer a unified vision for the dramatic canon produced by the greatest of Restoration comic playwrights. Traditionally the plays have been defined as comedies of manners or of wit, with either approach vastly limiting our understanding of the plays' depth and complexity... There is, however, a much deeper concern which lies at the heart of Wycherley's drama and gives unity to the four comedies, and it is this overriding theme that Professor Marshall explores to demonstrate Wycherley's transcendence of recognized Restoration theatrical devices and concern with theatricality itself: not with the mere social pretense... but with the ancient topos of theatrum mundi.. In short, marshall declares Wycherley's plays metatheatre, and herein lies their true substance and meaning, as well as tehir most innovative contributions to the development of English comedy (from the Introduction).

The history of literary criticism to Bradley and beyond is sketched in the introduction, and recent criticism is described in more detail by Richard Levin. Carol Rutter's essay on the women characters in the play is inspired partly by feminist criticism and partly by recent productions. The productions of the last thirty years are covered by theater critic Benedict Nightingale, and the major film versions by Anthony Davies and Stephen Phillips. Finally, Stuart Sillars presents a "visual history," an account of artistic responses that suggests further possibilities for both research and teaching.

Download Fool PDF Format Full Free by Christopher Moore and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man of infinite jest, Pocket has been Lear's cherished fool for years, from the time the king's grown daughters - selfish, scheming Goneril, sadistic but hot Regan, and sweet, loyal Cordelia - were mere girls. So he can see trouble brewing when Lear demands that his kids swear their undying love and devotion before a collection of assembled guests. Of course Goneril and Regan are only too happy to brownnose Dad. But Cordelia's blunt honesty ends up costing her her rightful share of the kingdom and earns her a banishment to boot. The only person who can possibly make things right is Pocket, who has already managed to sidestep catastrophe on numerous occasions, using his razor-sharp mind, rapier wit and the equally well-honed daggers he keeps conveniently hidden behind his back. He's going to have to do some very fancy maneuvering - cast some spells, incite a few assassinations, start a war or two (the usual stuff) - and shag every lusciously shaggable wench who's amenable along the way. Pocket may be a fool . . . but he's definitely not an idiot.

"And that’s true too"

ISBN 10 : 9781443815871
Pages : 260 pages
Rating : 4.8/5 (815 downloads)

Download "And that’s true too" PDF Format Full Free by Pierre Iselin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of provocative new essays, mainly by French scholars, on Shakespeare’s great tragedy, focuses on linguistic, aesthetic and philosophical issues with specific attention paid to the dimension of early modern desire, sexuality and gender relations. King Lear is here re-examined in the perspective of Lucrece, Montaigne, Renaissance medicine and anatomy, the grotesque, myth and imagery as well as negative theology. It is hoped that this will serve to update our approaches to this elusive, undecided play, neither Christian nor as completely nihilistic as some critics have argued, which nevertheless remains quite popular on French and English stages alike.

English Criticism in Japan

Download English Criticism in Japan PDF Format Full Free by Earl Roy Miner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays has been compiled in the hope of making scholars in the rest of the world more familiar with Japanese studies in English literature. By revealing to Western scholars the insights and criticisms of their Japanese colleagues they should help to expand the arena of intellectual discussion and improve its quality. The essays are the work of younger scholars from several leading Japanese universities. They range widely over English and American literature, stretching in time from Chaucer to T. S. Eliot, and in subject from the concept of "the royal" in Shakespeare to the involuntary memory as discovered by Coleridge. The writers have some uniquely Japanese perspectives, not of the hackneyed "East meets West" type, but insights stemming, the editor suggests, from these writers' experience of their own very rich literary tradition. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
