The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575: Religion, Drama, and the Impact of Change
ISBN: 9781409441366 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575 considers the implications of recent archival research which has profoundly changed our view of the continuation of performances of Chester's civic biblical play cycle into the reign of Elizabeth I. Scholars now view the decline and ultimate abandonment of civic religious drama as the result of a complex network of local pressures, heavily dependent upon individual civic and ecclesiastical authorities, rather than a result of a nation-wide policy of suppression, as had previously been assumed.

Magical Transformations on the Early Modern English Stage
ISBN: 9781472432865 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Magical Transformations on the Early Modern Stage furthers the debate about the cultural work performed by representations of magic on the early modern English stage. It considers the ways in which performances of magic reflect and feed into a sense of national identity, both in the form of magic contests and in its recurrent linkage to national defence; the extent to which magic can trope other concerns, and what these might be; and how magic is staged and what the representational strategies and techniques might mean. The essays range widely over both canonical plays-Macbeth, The Tempest,...

Christopher Marlowe and the Failure to Unify
ISBN: 9781472439512 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this sustained full length study of Marlowe's plays, Andrew Duxfield argues that Marlovian drama exhibits a marked interest in unity and unification, and that in doing so it engages with a discourse of anxiety over social discord that was prominent in the 1580s and 1590s. In combination with the ambiguity of the plays, he suggests, this focus produces a tension that both heightens dramatic effect and facilitates a cynical response to contemporary evocations of and pleas for unity. This book has three main aims. Firstly, it establishes that Marlowe s tragedies exhibit a profound interest in...

Sovereigns and Subjects in Early Modern Neo-Senecan Drama: Republicanism, Stoicism and Authority
ISBN: 9781472435200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sovereigns and Subjects in Early Modern Neo-Senecan Drama examines the development of neo-Senecan drama, also known as closet drama, during the years 1590-1613. It is the first book-length study since 1924 to consider these plays - the dramatic works of Mary Sidney, Samuel Daniel, Samuel Brandon, Fulke Greville, Sir William Alexander, and Elizabeth Cary, along with the Roman tragedies of Ben Jonson and Thomas Kyd - as a coherent group. Daniel Cadman suggests these works interrogate the relations between sovereigns and subjects during the early modern period by engaging with the humanist...

Tragedy and Trauma in the Plays of Christopher Marlowe
ISBN: 9781472431561 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contending that criticism of Marlowe s plays has been limited by humanist conceptions of tragedy, this book engages with trauma theory, especially psychoanalytic trauma theory, to offer a fresh critical perspective within which to make sense of the tension in Marlowe s plays between the tragic and the traumatic. The author argues that tragedies are trauma narratives, narratives of wounding; however, in Marlowe s plays, a traumatic aesthetics disrupts the closure that tragedy seeks to enact. Martin s fresh reading of Massacre at Paris, which is often dismissed by critics as a bad tragedy,...

Desires of Credit in Early Modern Theory and Drama: Commerce, Poesy, and the Profitable Imagination
ISBN: 9781472478108 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Desires of Credit in Early Modern Theory and Drama traces the near-simultaneous rise of economic theory, literary criticism, and public theater in London at the turn of the seventeenth century, and posits that connecting all three is a fascination with creating something out of nothing simply by acting as if it were there. Author Brian Sheerin contends that the motivating force behind both literary and economic inquiry at this time was the same basic quandary about the human imagination--specifically, how investments of belief can produce tangible consequences. Just as speculators were...

Shakespeare and the Culture of Paradox
ISBN: 9781472484710 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Exploring Shakespeare's intellectual interest in placing both characters and audiences in a state of uncertainty, mystery, and doubt, this book interrogates the use of paradox in Shakespeare's plays and in performance. By adopting this discourse-one in which opposites can co-exist and perspectives can be altered, and one that asks accepted opinions, beliefs, and truths to be reconsidered-Shakespeare used paradox to question love, gender, knowledge, and truth from multiple perspectives. Committed to situating literature within the larger culture, Peter Platt begins by examining the Renaissance...
