This volume is from the Shakespeare: His Work and World series and is jam packed with information about the Bard. In six chapters it provides a history of comedy traced from its Greek origins and Aristotle to Shakespeare’s time and a chronological examination and synopses of Shakespeare’s comedies. The treatment is surprisingly in depth and scholarly for such a slim volume. Sidebars give the background of some important historical or fictional people who influenced Shakespeare as well as other influential works or plays. One of the sidebars is about cross-dressing in Shakespeare. Vivid photographs of various productions of the plays on stage as well as in movies are sprinkled throughout the volume. The last chapter describes the evolution of “Shakespeare’s playhouse,” the Globe Theatre to the present day. The book contains a table of contents, a glossary, index, and a bibliography. Student researchers will find this resource useful. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In Shakespeare's time, the term "comedy" did not necessarily denote something funny or amusing. Rather, through such plays such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, the playwright examines other defining characteristics of comedic drama-the social interactions of common folks and a focus on the contradictions inherent in everyday life. Readers explore the major themes of Shakespearean comedies, which have enchanted readers and theater-goers alike for centuries. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
