Queer Virgins and Virgin Queens on the Early Modern Stage
ISBN: 9780198186991 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Queer Virgins and Virgin Queans looks at the early modern theater through the lens of obscure and obscene puns--especially "queer" puns, those that carry homoerotic resonances and speak to homoerotic desires. In particular, it resurrects the operations of a small boys' company known as the first Whitefriars, which performed for about nine months in 1607-8. As a group, the plays performed by this company exhibit an unusually dense array of bawdy puns, whose eroticism is extremely interesting, given that the focus of eros is the male body. The laughter recoverable from Whitefriars plays...

Tom Stoppard’s Plays: Patterns of Plenitude and Parsimony

In Tom Stoppard's Plays: Patterns of Plenitude and Parsimony Nigel Purse assesses the complete canon of Tom Stoppard's works on a thematic basis. He explains that, amongst the plenitude of chaotic comedy, wordplay and intellectual ping-pong of Stoppard's plays, the principle of parsimony that is Occam's razor lies at the heart of his works. He identifies key patterns in theme - ethics and duality - and method - Stoppard's stage debates and his dramatic vehicles - as well as in theatrical devices. Quoting extensively from all Stoppard's published works, many of his interviews and also...
