The Knight of the Burning Pestle: Francis Beaumont
ISBN: 9780719069673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'The most Pirandellish thing that ever existed' or else 'a wild farrago of reasonless absurdity': James Agate was unable to decide. But 'The Knight of The Burning Pestle' is both. It is a carnival celebration of London life and London theatre in which Francis Beaumont's comic genius is given free rein. A grocer, his wife and their two apprentices attending the theatre in holiday mood interrupt and finally replace a fatuous love comedy with their own heart's desire: exotic spectacle and sound English sentiment. This edition presents an accurate modern-spelling text, the first since 1908 to...

Every Man Out of His Humour: Ben Jonson
ISBN: 9780719078392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite its popularity when it first appeared in print in 1600, Every Man out of His Humour has never appeared as a single modern critical edition until now. The volume's introduction and annotations convey early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display by providing historical contexts and pointing out the continuity of those obsessions into modern life. The play is of interest because of its influence on the course of city comedy and its wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of Elizabeth's reign.
Jonson's experiments in generating... Despite its popularity when it first appeared in print in 1600, Every Man out of His Humour has never appeared as a single modern critical edition unt...

"Each time I leave home I seem to go in search of something--call it a bo tree, or Shangri-La, or paradise--which is only another name for peace itself and these days decidedly a fool's errand."
So writes Helen Bevington in "The World and the Bo Tree, " a book that describes her travels taken amid the turbulence of the 1980s. The "world" of the title is the one everybody knows, a fairly troubled, even threatening place to inhabit these days. The bo tree, which has flourished for centuries in India and Asia, is itself a meaningful symbol of peace, since under it the Buddha sat when he...

ISBN: 9780719080647 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Edward IV (1599) was printed no less than six times up to 1626, and was one of the best loved plays of the early modern period, but this edition is the first since the 1870s.

The play premiered at a moment when the representation of medieval history in any format was coming under the hostile scrutiny of...

Masques of Difference: Four Court Masques
ISBN: 9780719057540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Masques of difference presents an annotated edition of four seventeenth-century entertainments written by Ben Jonson for the court of James I. These masques reflect both the confidence and the anxieties of the English aristocracy at a time when notions of monarchy, empire, and national identity were being radically redefined. All four masques reflect the royal court's self-representation as moral, orderly, and just, in contrast to stylised images of chaotically (and exotically) 'othered' groups: Africans, the Irish, witches, and the homoeroticised figure of the Gypsy.

David Bevington answers these questions with This Wide and Universal Theater, which explores how Shakespeare's plays were produced both in his own time and in succeeding centuries. Making use of historical documents and the play scripts themselves, Bevington brings Shakespeare's original... Many readers first encounter Shakespeare's plays in a book rather than a theater.
