Satire and the Correspondence of Swift - Craig Hawkins Ulman - Bog - Harvard University Press - Plusbog.dk

Satire and the Correspondence of Swift - Craig Hawkins Ulman - Bog - Harvard University Press - Plusbog.dk

Since the first secret publication, in 1740, of part of his correspondence with Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift's letters have become a standard source for his biographers and critics. Craig Ulman argues that the letters are not entirely reliable for biographical fact and have often been taken too literally. In this readable essay, Ulman surveys the satiric material in Swift's correspondence, highlighting his wit. The author views Swift's epistolary writing as very much a literary endeavor. He examines the pose and the persona and discusses the satiric methods the letters share with Swift's other published works.

The Roman Theatre and Its Audience - Richard C. Beacham - Bog - Harvard University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Roman Theatre and Its Audience - Richard C. Beacham - Bog - Harvard University Press - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on recent archaeological investigations, new scholarship, and the author's own original research and staging experience, this book offers a new and fascinating picture of theatrical performance in the ancient world. Richard Beacham traces the history of the Roman theatre, from its origins in the fourth century B.C. to the demise of formal theatrical activity at the end of antiquity. He characterizes the comedy of Plautus and Terence and the audience to which the Roman playwrights were appealing; describes staging, scenery, costuming, and performance style; and details a variety of theatrical forms, including comedy, tragedy, mime, pantomime, and spectacles.
