Themes and conventions of Elizabethan Tragedy.

Autore:
Editore: University Press.
Data di pubbl.:
Dettagli: cm.13,5x21,5, pp.270, brossura cop.fig. Testo in inglese.

Abstract: The first edition of this book formed the basis of the modern approach to Elizabethan poetic drama as a performing art, an approach pursued in subsequent volumes by Professor Bradbrook. Its influence has also extended to other fields; it has been studied by Grigori Kozintesev and Sergei Eisenstein for instance. Conventions of open stage, stylized plot and characters, and actors' traditions of presentation are related to the special expectations which a rhetorical training produced in the listeners. The general discussion of tragic conventions is followed by individual studies of how these were used by Marlowe, Tourneur, Webster and Middlewon. For this second edition Professor Bradbrook has revised her material and written a new introduction. A new final chapter on performace and characterization describes the conventions of role-playing. Dramatists before and after Shakespeare are compared with him in their methods of showing a complex identity on stage. This chapter also considers the work of Marston, Chapman and Ford in relation to the themes and conventions studied in earlier chapters, providing a link with the subsequent volumes in A History of Elizabethan Drama.

#309042 Dantesca
Con disegni dell'Autore. Firenze, Olschki 2023, cm12x17, pp.40, brossura copertina figurata. Coll.Particelle Elementari vol10. A partire dal suggestivo intreccio tra pensieri e disegni, Alberto Manguel dà vita ad un viaggio insolito ed evocativo tra le concezioni del mondo e delle sue origini: le sue riflessioni sui quattro elementi attraversano le filosofie e le pratiche umane, nel segno dell’inesorabile ricerca – possibile o illusoria – di un ordine universale. E se Dante risulta convitato di pietra silenzioso, richiamato di continuo ma celato sotto il velo dei rimandi, è l’argilla, materia ancestrale per eccellenza, la chiave di volta dell’unione tra terra, acqua, aria e fuoco. Weaving together thoughts and drawings, Alberto Manguel brings to life an unusual and evocative journey through different conceptions of the world and its origins. His reflections on the four elements traverse human philosophies and practices, following the path of the inexorable - possible or illusory - search for a universal order. While Dante’s figure looms large, concealed behind a veil of cross-references but never revealed, it is clay – the ultimate ancestral material – which represents the key that holds together earth, water, air and fire.
