Middleton & Rowley - David Nicol - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Middleton & Rowley - David Nicol - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Can the inadvertent clashes between collaborators produce more powerful effects than their concordances? For Thomas Middleton and William Rowley, the playwriting team best known for their tragedy The Changeling , disagreements and friction proved quite beneficial for their work. This first full-length study of Middleton and Rowley uses their plays to propose a new model for the study of collaborative authorship in early modern English drama. David Nicol highlights the diverse forms of collaborative relationships that factor into a play’s meaning, including playwrights, actors, companies, playhouses, and patrons. This kaleidoscopic approach, which views the plays from all these perspectives, throws new light on the Middleton-Rowley oeuvre and on early modern dramatic collaboration as a whole.

Athens and Jerusalem - David Novak - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Athens and Jerusalem - David Novak - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

What is the relation of philosophy and theology? This question has been a matter of perennial concern in the history of Western thought. Written by one of the premier philosophers in the areas of Jewish ethics and interfaith issues between Judaism and Christianity, Athens and Jerusalem contends that philosophy and theology are not mutually exclusive. Based on the Gifford Lectures David Novak delivered at the University of Aberdeen in 2017, this book explores the commonalities and common concerns that exist between philosophy and theology on metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions. Where are they different and where are they the same? And, how can they speak to one another?

Bennewitz, Goethe, 'Faust' - David G. John - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Bennewitz, Goethe, 'Faust' - David G. John - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Fritz Bennewitz (1926-1995) was the director-in-chief of East Germany''s Weimar National Theatre. Extraordinary in his capacity for cultural and linguistic adjustment, he directed productions in twelve countries, always adapting shows to make them meaningful to local audiences. Notably, Bennewitz conducted stagings of Goethe''s Faust in four different languages over a series of seven productions — three in pre-unification Weimar, one in the reunited Germany, and one each in New York, Manila, and Mumbai. The first comprehensive account of Bennewitz''s remarkable career, Bennewitz, Goethe, Faust is also a pioneering study of intercultural interpretations of Faust . David G. John brings to light previously unknown archival materials — including annotated playbooks, correspondence, translations, videos, and reception information — as well as unpublished production photos from the stagings discussed in the book. Bennewitz, Goethe, Faust makes a cogent argument for this director''s place alongside the twentieth century''s greatest theatre innovators.

Natural Law Modernized - David Braybrooke - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Natural Law Modernized - David Braybrooke - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Rousseau are classic modern philosophers, widely consulted in matters of ethics and political theory. In this provocative study David Braybrooke challenges received scholarly opinion by arguing that these canonical theorists took St Thomas Aquinas as their point of reference, reinforcing rather than departing from his natural law theory. The natural law theory of St Thomas Aquinas is essentially a secular theory, says Braybrooke. He argues that Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Rousseau share a core of thought that not only has roots in St Thomas but offers an alternative to other ethical theories now current. According to Braybrooke, this surviving and reinforced core qualifies as an ethical theory viable by the most sophisticated standards, meeting the main challenges of analytical metaethics, and thus standing up to the scrutiny that any ethical theory must undergo in contemporary philosophical discussions. Braybrooke''s study takes the reader into a rich and compelling intellectual universe, one in which medieval natural law theory, widely ignored as obsolete, survives robustly through the modern canon and into the third millennium.

Architectonics of Imitation in Spenser, Daniel, and Drayton - David Galbraith - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Architectonics of Imitation in Spenser, Daniel, and Drayton - David Galbraith - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

This ground-breaking study explores the treatment of the boundaries between poetry and history in three epic literary works: Spenser''s Faerie Queene , Samuel Daniel''s Civil Wars , and Michael Drayton''s Poly-Olbion . David Galbraith argues that each of the three national poems enters into a dialogue with classical and more contemporary predecessors and that this relationship has profound implications for understanding the English Renaissance. He explores the importance for each poem of various aspects of the relationship between England and Rome and the significance of the recurring spatial metaphors by which the territories of poetry and history are constituted, negotiated, and traversed. By presenting historically and theoretically inflected readings of the poems, Galbraith gives new interpretation to important problems of allegory and poetic imitation.
