The Politics and Plays of Bernard Shaw
ISBN: 9780786413232 / Angielski / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do politics and the playhouse go together? For Bernard Shaw they most certainly did.

Staging the Easter Rising: 1916 as Theatre
ISBN: 9781859184011 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. * An exciting new interpretation of 1916 as theatre and its later representation on the stage, with a particular focus on gender.
-Both stylistically and conceptually, the author works in broad vivid strokes, ultimately producing a book that re-imagines familiar territory in an original and often unexpected way. This is a brave book, one that wades into the undergrowth of some of the bigger and more perilous jungles of Irish cultural debate: Yeats, Casement, the women of 1916, the Abbey and elitism, de Valera, revisionism.- -- Christopher Morash This is... * An exciting new interpretation of 1916 as theatre and its later representation on the stage, with a particular focus on gender.

Eroticism on the Renaissance Stage: Transcendence, Desire, and the Limits of the Visible
ISBN: 9780521623797 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Celia Daileader explores the paradoxes of eroticism in early modern English drama, where women and their bodies (represented by boy actors) were materially absent and yet symbolically central. Accounting for the significance of the space offstage, where most sexual acts take place, Daileader looks to the suppression of religious drama in England and the resulting secularization of the stage. She draws together questions about sexuality and the sacred, in the bodies--of Christ and of woman--banished from the early modern English stage.
