Elastizitaet: The Poetics of Space, Movement and Character in Frank Wedekind's Theater
ISBN: 9780820430836 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Frequenting circuses in Paris and Berlin, Frank Wedekind, best known for Spring Awakening and the Lulu plays, learned that trapeze artists and tightrope walkers rely on different artificial reference points in space, in order to maintain their balance and orient themselves and to create their own sensorial and phenomenal worlds. This lesson in radical perspectivism and constructivism is a key to Wedekind s practice as a playwright, and it links the Munich dramatist s work to the thought of Schopenhauer, who first used the term Elastizitat in a philosophical sense; Darwin, who...

ISBN: 9781433114250 / Angielski / Twarda / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book views Jacques-Louis David s pre-Revolutionary Oath of the Horatii as the realization of political and cultural gender struggle and goes back to antiquity and to Pierre Corneille s seventeenth-century play Horace to trace major antecedents of David s work. The play begins with Livy s account of gender strife in the Roman family of the Horatians. As Horace returns from battle against Alba, he is bitterly reproached by his sister Camille for slaying her Alban fiance.

Maxim Gorky; Russian Dramatist
ISBN: 9783039103058 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Maxim Gorky was dubbed the father of socialist realism in the Soviet period, but he had forged his career as an internationally known novelist and dramatist some three or more decades earlier. Posing questions that Soviet critics found difficult to confront, the author examines the effects of exile and religion on the content and form of the plays as well as the role played by women, and the personal and political implications of motherhood. All sixteen of Gorky s published plays are covered, and the book explores whether this body of work has themes and styles to unify it. While conflict is...

Samuel Beckett's Abstract Drama: Works for Stage and Screen- 1962-1985
ISBN: 9783039110223 / Angielski / Miękka / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Samuel Beckett s Play, written 1962-63, was an aesthetic watershed inaugurating his late, abstract dramatic style. This book gets close to Beckett s creative process by examining the possible influence of Arnold Schoenberg s twelve-tone music and Vassily Kandinsky s abstract painting upon this formal shift; by tracing Beckett s developing attitude to abstraction and its relation to his long-standing preoccupation with the breakdown of the subject-object relation and the ultimate failure of all expression; and by following his formal choices through manuscript drafts. The author goes on...

Trials and Tribunals in the Dramas of Heinrich Von Kleist
ISBN: 9783039110391 / Angielski / Miękka / 153 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What makes the trial so appealing as dramatic form? Why do we watch? Is it simply the quest for truth and justice? Or is it much more than that?
From the time of Sophocles, the court has fascinated audiences and dramatists alike. Kleist is no exception, as each of his dramas and many of his stories and anecdotes contain a trial of some sort from its most primitive form of hand-to-hand combat in the duel to more conventional legal proceedings in secular, military and ecclesiastical courts. At trial, we desire, whether consciously or unconsciously, to have our own system of beliefs and... What makes the trial so appealing as dramatic form? Why do we watch?

Philippe Quinault, Dramatist
ISBN: 9783039115334 / Angielski / Miękka / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much work has been done in recent years on Quinault s librettos, but no major study of his spoken plays has appeared since the monumental thesis by Etienne Gros, published in 1926. Moreover, he has never been the subject of a monograph in English. There is a need to re-assess the influence of his life on his plays, and to re-evaluate Gros s findings in the light of eighty years research into seventeenth-century French theatre in general. This book rejects the deterministic approach that sees his plays as apprentice pieces for the greater achievement that is his corpus of librettos, as well as...

Sex, Love and Prostitution in Turn-Of-The-Century German-Language Drama: A. Schnitzler's Reigen, F. Wedekind's Die Buechse Der Pandora: Eine Monstretr
ISBN: 9783631520499 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Schnitzler s Reigen, Wedekind s Die Buchse der Pandora: Eine Monstretragoedie, and Thoma s Moral and Magdalena reflect the gender inequity and interaction of their time as described in contemporary non-literary texts. The works represent a creative participation in gender discourse, taking the side of social reformers who argued for a more equitable treatment of women, including prostitutes. The discrimination endured by prostitutes, however, is simply an extreme of what all women experienced. The dramas expose male oppression of females, while simultaneously...

Two Plays by Denis Diderot; The Illegitimate Son and The Father of the Family- Translated with an Introduction by Kiki Gounaridou and John Hellweg
ISBN: 9781433113635 / Angielski / Twarda / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was one of the French philosophers and writers of the Enlightenment. This volume contains the first English translations of his plays, The Illegitimate Son and The Father of the Family. These complex and very entertaining plays delve into the attitudes of the middle-class, bourgeois society and reveal an eighteenth-century -suburbia- that populates dramatic and suspenseful situations and settings. The translations are vivid and contemporary and bring the plays alive to early twenty-first-century stage and culture."

Both atheists and Christians claim Chekhov as their own, a fact that affirms the ambiguity of his artistry.

Rethinking Peter Weiss
ISBN: 9780820448510 / Angielski / Twarda / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Weiss s substantial uvre has become a casualty of the cold war s end, the collapse of socialism, and the beginning of a new millennium as one would call it. This strikes us a valid reason to reconsider Peter Weiss to face the challenge of rethinking the work of a writer and artist who was a committed socialist and utopian thinker at a time when these very categories have been fundamentally called into question."

This critical anthology presents original scholarship and materials about the prominent dramatist and concentration camp memoir writer Elsa Porges-Bernstein (1866-1949).

Landmarks in German Comedy
ISBN: 9783039101856 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Public demand for comedy has always been high in the German-speaking countries, but the number of comic dramas that have survived is relatively small. Those which are still read or regularly performed all have a serious purpose, and this collection of fourteen essays on the most distinguished of them shows how laughter can be exploited to treat personal, moral, and social problems in a way that would not be possible in tragedy. The texts range from the seventeenth to the late twentieth century, and no fewer than half of them are by Austrian writers. The contributors show how these plays are...

The Art of Comedy and Social Critique in Nineteenth-Century Germany; Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer (1800-1868)
ISBN: 9783039102921 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the mid-nineteenth century, Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer pursued a fifty-year career as a playwright and theater manager in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at a time of the transformation of court theaters and itinerant troupes into commercial establishments staffed by middle-class professionals and subject to market forces. Although she has been undervalued by some critics past and present who considered her mainly as an adapter of contemporary novels, this study shows that with her thorough knowledge of the European dramatic tradition, her skill as a playwright, and above all her...
