Globe In Print - The Book Of The Play In The Age Of Shakespeare

de Stephen Orgel

~~20,96€~~ 18,86€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 How did the popular drama of Shakespeare''s age become literature? Every work that has survived from the theater of past ages has gone through some editorial process to make it available to readers. The book of the play is not the play on the stage; returning it to the stage for modern audiences is not a simple or straightforward process, nor can we simply read backwards from the texts that have come down to us to deduce what Shakespeare''s or Jonson''s (or Aristophanes''s or Sophocles''s) audiences saw.Editorial efforts since the first folio of 1623 have attempted to establish a correct, final text of Shakespeare''s plays, as the folio promises "the true, original copies." Yet the text in the theater changed constantly, as the actors adapted the plays to take into account their changing audiences. The publisher of the folio of Beaumont and Fletcher''s plays in 1647 acknowledges that his texts include more than the plays on the stage--"all that was acted and all that was not." In performance, the play at the Globe was not the play at court, nor was any play the same when it was revived in a subsequent season. Moreover, performances always involved improvisation on the part of the actors, and the continual response (often vocal and energetic) of the audience. This book is about what happens to plays when they become books.

Reimagining The Past In The Borderlands Of Medieval England And Wales

de Georgia Henley

~~20,96€~~ 18,86€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Challenging the standard view that England emerged as a dominant power and Wales faded into obscurity after Edward I''s conquest in 1282, this book considers how Welsh (and British) history became an enduringly potent instrument of political power in the late Middle Ages. Brought into the broader stream of political consciousness by major baronial families from the March (the borderlands between England and Wales), this inventive history generated a new brand of literature interested in succession, land rights, and the origins of imperial power, as imagined by Geoffrey of Monmouth. These marcher families leveraged their ancestral, political, and ideological ties to Wales in order to strengthen their political power, both regionally and nationally, through the patronage of historical and genealogical texts that reimagined the Welsh past on their terms. In doing so, they brought ideas of Welsh history to a wider audience than previously recognized and came to have a profound effect on late medieval thought about empire, monarchy, and succession.
