King Henry IV Part 1: Third Series
ISBN: 9781904271352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David Scott Kastan lucidly explores the remarkable richness and the ambitious design of King Henry IV Part 1 and shows how these complicate any easy sense of what kind of play it is. Conventionally regarded as a history play, much of it is in fact conspicuously invented fiction, and Kastan argues that the non-historical, comic plot does not simply parody the historical action but by its existence raises questions about the very nature of history. The full and engaging introduction devotes extensive discussion to the play's language, indicating how its insistent economic vocabulary...

A Will to Believe: Shakespeare and Religion
ISBN: 9780199572892 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On December 19, 1601, John Croke, then Speaker of the House of Commons, addressed his colleagues: "If a question should be asked, 'What is the first and chief thing in a Commonwealth to be regarded?' I should say, 'Religion.' If, 'What is the second?' I should say, 'Religion.' If, 'What the third?' I should still say, 'Religion.'" But if religion was recognized as the "chief thing in a Commonwealth," we have been less certain what it does in Shakespeare's plays. Written and performed in a culture in which religion was indeed inescapable, the plays have usually been seen either as evidence of...

This book is a authoritative account of Shakespeare's plays as they were transformed from scripts to be performed into books to be read, and eventually from popular entertainment into the centerpieces of the English literary canon. Kastan examines the motives and activities of Shakespeare's first publishers; the curious eighteenth-century schizophrenia that saw Shakespeare radically modified on stage at the very moment that scholars were working to establish and restore the "genuine" texts, and the exhilarating possibilities of electronic media for presenting Shakespeare now to new...

Staging the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780415901666 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Within English Renaissance studies, the powerful influence of new critical methodologies - feminism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism - has radically changed our conceptions of texts and respresentation itself. Literary texts are now viewed as sites of meaning, not its exclusive sources, as stages where authors and readers negotiate the conventions of society and language to contest and construct the significance of texts. The essays in Staging the Renaissance analyze this dynamic process within Renaissance drama where texts stage radical collaborations between playwright, actor,...

The Taming of the Shrew
ISBN: 9780553213065 / Angielski / Miękka (mass market paperbound / 1988 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A robust and bawdy battle of the sexes, this ever popular comedy captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills-and love-with her bridegroom, Petruchio. Their boisterous conflict is set off against a more conventional romantic plot involving the wooing of Katharina's lovely and compliant sister, Bianca. Rich with the psychological themes of identity and transformation, the play is quintessentially lighthearted, filled with visual gags, witty repartee, and unmatched theatrical brilliance from Petruchio's demand, "Kiss me, Kate " to the final...

A New History of Early English Drama
ISBN: 9780231102438 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. For many years the study of pre-seventeenth-century English drama was shaped largely by an understanding that everything written revolved around the individual author, either as part of the tradition that prepared the way for Shakespeare or as part of his legacy. Now twenty-five original essays by leading theorists and historians chart a paradigmatic shift within the field. In contrast to the traditional emphasis on individual authors, the contributors here explore the place of the stage within the larger society, as well as issues of performance and physical space. The essays are...
