ISBN: 9780198121671 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Oscar Wilde was already one of the best-known literary figures in Britain when he was persuaded to turn his extraordinary talents to the theatre.

Four Revenge Tragedies: The Spanish Tragedy; The Revenger's Tragedy; The Revenge of Bussy d'Ambois; And the Atheist's Tragedy
ISBN: 9780198121701 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Revenge Tragedy flourished in Britain during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The classic ingredients of the genre are a quest for vengeance, mad scenes, a play within a play, and carnage. Each of the four plays here subverts the genre, and deals with fundamental moral questions about justice and the individual, while registering the strains of life in an increasingly fragile social hierarchy. This edition includes Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, the anonymous The Revenger's Tragedy (variously ascribed to Cyril Tourneur and Thomas Middleton), The Revenge of Bussy...

Revising Wilde Society and Subversion in the Plays of Oscar Wilde
ISBN: 9780198121831 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A radical re-examination of Oscar Wilde's plays, Revising Wilde challenges long-established views of the writer as a dilettante and dandy. Instead Wilde emerges as a serious philosopher and social critic who used his plays to subvert the traditional values of Victorian literature and society. Sos Eltis traces Wilde's painstaking revisions and redrafting of his plays, and uncovers Wilde's subtle methods of lampooning his conventional sources. In the process Eltis discovers, concealed in successive versions, Wilde the anarchist, the socialist, and the feminist. Taking into account the most...

The Works of George Farquhar: Volume II
ISBN: 9780198123422 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 654 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. George Farquhar (1678-1707) was perhaps the best, and certainly the most popular, playwright to appear at the turn of the 18th century. He captivated audiences with his lively good-natured comedies, and romanced the leading actresses and female playwrights. In addition to his eight plays, he wrote many poems, letters, an epic, and a miscellany--all before his untimely death at less than thirty. Shirley Strum Kenny has provided the first scholarly edition of the works since 1730; she has added to the canon materials not printed since the beginning of the 18th century, some of which have never...

Troilus and Cressida: The Oxford Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780198129035 / Angielski / Twarda / 1982 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Given the wealth of formal debate contained in this tragedy, Troilus and Cressida was probably written in 1602 for a performance at one of the Inns of the Court. Shakespeare's treatment of the age-old tale of love and betrayal is based on many sources, from Homer and Ovid to Chaucer and Shakespeare's near contemporary Robert Greene. In the introduction the various problems connected with the play, its performance, and publication, are considered succinctly; its multiple sources are discussed in detail, together with its peculiar stage history and its renewed popularity in recent...
