  • Langue Et Altérité Dans La Culture De La Renaissance
    s s e e r n u t r l e u h t U CŒUR DE L ORGANISATION SOCIALE de la Grèce antique et C ’ O e c de l’institution théâtrale s’inscrivait Dionysos, « la figure de d n n l’Autre » par excellence (Louis Gernet). Le théâtre a a A s s élisabéthain, quant à lui, plaçait le festif ou l’Altérité prohibée dans e i g un lieu alternatif, de l’autre côté de la Tamise, comme pour mieux a a n e confronter la ville au-delà de ses frontières. Entre les murs du théâtre, u g R les garçons jouaient les rôles de femmes — fait unique en Europe à n n langue et altérité a l’époque — alors que le langage était lui-même « autre », un i mélange instable d’idiomes naturels et les langues vernaculaires L issues des cultures dominantes d’Europe continentale, marquant la disparition progressive de la langue de l’« Église d’Antan », le latin, dans la culture de la renaissance de plus en plus souvent perçu comme la langue de l’Autre suprême, le Pape Antéchrist. Ce volume tente de montrer la diversité topologique de l’Altérité dans la culture de la Renaissance en s’intéressant à la fois à la langue « autre » (la calomnie, l’insulte, le jargon des colporteurs, la e Language and Otherness in Renaissance Culture traduction, la prophétie), comme aux figures de l’« Autre » (le c fantôme, le bâtard, le garçon acteur travesti, l’homme des bois…) n a s s i In Ancient Greece, the institution of the theatre marked the a é n installation, at the centre of society, of Dionysus, “the figure of the t i textes réunis par e Other” par excellence (Louis Gernet).

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Iv: the Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company, 1920-1926
    IV: THE ALLAN WILKIE SHAKESPEAREAN COMPANY, 1920-1926 "Our True Intent is all for Your Delight." In September 1920, Allan Wilkie announced his plans to establish Australia's first permanent Shakespearean company, drawing a parallel to Frank Benson's Company in England. The inaugural production by the new Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company was to be a "new arrangement" of Macbeth, and Wilkie gave it as his fixed intention to produce all thirty-seven of Shakespeare's plays, some of which had never previously been staged in Australia." Advance publicity emphasized the potentially historic nature of the occasion: When in future years this company will be counted one of the institutions of which Australia is proud, those who attend on the opening night will tell with satisfaction how they were present during the enthusiastic hours which saw the inception of the company [Argus, 9 September 1920]. Many cynics were quick to point out the unlikelihood of Wilkie's venture surviving for long, or even getting off the ground, in view of the history of Shakespeare production in Australia. His was by no means the first proposal to establish a permanent company, but lack of demand had ended all previous efforts. In order to arouse audience curiosity, Wilkie advertised, as mentioned above, a "new arrangement" of Macbeth. His presentation was to have two novel aspects, which were to form the basis of his production methods in the years to come. They were interdependent: first, a new method of scenic arrangement, and second, a new organisation of the play, made possible by simplified scenery.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-14168-1 — The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare , Edited by M.M. Mahood , Introduction by Tom Lockwood Frontmatter More Information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE generaleditor Brian Gibbons, University of Münster associate generaleditor A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE For this updated edition of one of Shakespeare’s most problematic plays, Tom Lockwood has added a new introductory section on the latest scholarly trends, performance and adaptation practices which have occurred over the last two decades. Investigating the latest critical frames through which the play has been interpreted, the updated introduction also focuses on recent international performances on stage and screen (including Al Pacino’s performances on film and in Daniel Sullivan’s production in New York, the Habima National Theatre’s production for the Globe to Globe Festival, Jonathan Munby’s touring production for the Globe performed in London, New York and Venice, and Rupert Goold’s production for the Royal Shakespeare Company). Finally, new forms of adaptation are considered: a perfor- mance transposed to the different generic mode of a New York auction room, and the remaking of the play in Howard Jacobson’s 2016 novel, Shylock Is My Name. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-14168-1 — The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare , Edited by M.M.

  • INTRODUCTION Xl Othello a 'Black Devil' and Desdemona's 'Most Filthy
    INTRODUCTION xl Othello a 'black devil' and Desdemona's 'most filthy bargain' ^ we cannot doubt that she speaks the mind of many an Englishwoman in the seventeenth-century audience. If anyone imagines that England at that date was unconscious of the 'colour-bar' they cannot have read Othello with any care? And only those who have not read the play at all could suppose that Shake­ speare shared the prejudice, inasmuch as Othello is his noblest soldier and he obviously exerted himself to represent him as a spirit of the rarest quality. How significant too is the entry he gives him! After listening for 180 lines of the opening scene to the obscene suggestions of Roderigo and lago and the cries of the outraged Brabantio we find ourselves in the presence of one, not only rich in honours won in the service of Venice, and fetching his 'life and being from men of royal siege',3 but personally a prince among men. Before such dignity, self-possession and serene sense of power, racial prejudice dwindles to a petty stupidity; and when Othello has told the lovely story of his courtshipj and Desdemona has in the Duke's Council- chamber, simply and without a moment's hesitation, preferred her black husband to her white father, we have to admit that the union of these two grand persons, * 5. 2.134, 160. The Devil, now for some reason become red, was black in the medieval and post-medievcil world. Thus 'Moors' had 'the complexion of a devil' {Merchant of Venice, i. 2.
