Secret Sharers in Italian Comedy: From Machiavelli to Goldoni
ISBN: 9780822317609 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern vernacular comedy took shape in early sixteenth-century Italy with the many plays adapted from and modeled on Plautine New Comedy. As Jackson I.

In both historically and critically engaging fashion, Cope identifies and examines this major development in Italian theater.
Though outwardly similar to New Comedy with its characteristically harmonious closure, this essentially anti-Plautine form employs a secret--known by...

Rising above the details of her own case, Schulman boldly uses her...
