London's Grand Guignol and the Theatre of Horror
ISBN: 9780859897921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. London's Grand Guignol--a macabre theatre of naturalistic horror--was established in the early 1920s at the Little Theatre in the West End. Taking its cue from Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol in Paris, this high-profile venture enjoyed as much critical controversy as popular success. On its side were some of the finest actors of the English stage, such as Sybil Thorndike and Lewis Casson, as well as a team of extremely able writers, including the legendary Noel Coward. London's Grand Guignol and the Theatre of Horror considers the importance and influence of the Grand Guignol within its...

Terror on the Air!: Horror Radio in America, 1931-1952
ISBN: 9780786469192 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The macabre world of monsters, killers on the loose and revenge from beyond the grave existed not only in the movies, but also on the radio before television's dominance in American homes. One of many distinct genres born of early broadcasting, horror radio thrilled millions. Creeping out of the speaker night after night came stories that chilled the listening public--everything from creature features to sophisticated noir suspense. So eager were Americans to be scared that nearly 80 horror programs aired every week in the late 1940s.

The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a whole.

The Theatre of Joseph Conrad: Reconstructed Fictions
ISBN: 9781403918994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Although the dramatic dimension to Joseph Conrad's fiction is frequently acknowledged, his own experiments in drama have traditionally been marginalized. However, in all of Conrad's plays we see a distinct effort to investigate seriously the dramatic form and some of his plays are startlingly ahead of their time. Furthermore, all of the plays are adaptations and comprise One Day More, based on Tomorrow, Laughing Anne, based on Because of the Dollars, Victory: A Drama and The Secret Agent . The creation of these reveals much about the history, theory and practice of this fascinating cultural...

Grand-Guignol: The French Theatre of Horror
ISBN: 9780859896962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Theatre du Grand-Guignol in Paris (1897-1962) achieved a legendary reputation as the 'Theatre of Horror, ' a venue displaying such explicit violence and blood-curdling terror that a resident doctor was employed to treat the numerous spectators who fainted each night. Indeed, the phrase 'grand guignol' has entered the language to describe any display of sensational horror. Since the theatre closed its doors forty years ago, the genre has been overlooked by critics and theatre historians. This book reconsiders the importance and influence of the Grand-Guignol within its social, cultural and...
