Suffocating Mothers: Fantasies of Maternal Origin in Shakespeare's Plays, Hamlet to the Tempest
ISBN: 9780415900393 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reading each of Shakespeare's plays from Hamlet to The Tempest, Janet Adelman illuminates Shakespeare's negotiations with mothers, present and absent - not only Gertrude, Volumnia, and Hermione, but also Lady Macbeth, Lear's daughters, and the exiled witch Sycorax. In her original and highly charged account, Adelman traces the genesis of Shakespearean tragedy and romance to a psychologized version of the Fall, in which original sin is literally the sin of origin, inherited from the maternal body that brings death into the world. In Adelman's account, Shakepspeare's confrontation with maternal...

Orientalism in French Classical Drama
ISBN: 9780521025171 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michele Longino examines the ways in which Mediterranean exoticism alters the themes in French classical drama through the exploration of such plays by Corneille, Moliere and Racine as Le Cid, Medee, and Le bourgeois gentilhomme among others. She considers the role that the staging of the near Orient played in influencing French colonial identity. Drawing on histories, travel journals, memoirs and correspondence, Longino depicts these dramatizations in the context of French-Ottoman relations at the time of their production.

French Renaissance Tragedy: The Dramatic Word
ISBN: 9780521025584 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gillian Jondorf challenges the traditional critical approaches to French Renaissance theater, reevaluating its literary merit and originality. She shows how playwrights of the sixteenth century actually achieved an originality by introducing classical themes, breaking with the medieval tradition of religious and morality plays. Whereas many critics have considered writers of French Renaissance drama as mere forerunners of the more famous seventeenth-century writers such as Moliere or Racine, Jondorf argues that these plays should be seen as competent and skillfully-composed in their own...

Dickens, Novel Reading, and the Victorian Popular Theatre
ISBN: 9780521026888 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this study Deborah Vlock shows that characters, dialogue, and plots from many of Charles Dickens' novels can be traced to the Victorian stage, and that contemporary readers and writers of fiction were strongly influenced by what they saw at the theater. Through an examination of theatrical and popular-cultural sources--including accounts of noted actors and actresses, and of popular theatrical characters of the time--Vlock uncovers unexpected precursors for some popular Dickensian characters, and throws new light on the conditions in which Dickens' novels were initially received.
