  • In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT
    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.

The story written in 1868 relates a fictionalized account of its author’s young life with her sisters. While certain aspects of the story have been altered in this musical adaptation, the heart of the tale remains untouched. Four sisters of the March family: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy come of age during the U.S. Civil War, while their father is away with the Union Army. Their mother, whom they affectionately call “Marmee,” nurtures and encourages these four strong-spirited young women to achieve their dreams. While this approach to raising children may be “conventional,” there is little “conventional” about her daughters. Jo, a tom-boyish writer, disregards social standards of how women should behave.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn's Copenhagen
    Charles University in Prague Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen Diploma thesis Tereza Lesáková Secondary School Teacher Education (En – Cz) Supervisor: PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D. Prague 2014 I declare that I have worked on this final thesis independently using only the primary and secondary sources listed in the works cited section. I would like to thank my supervisor, PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D, for his kind help and valuable advice and Mgr. Jindřich Soukup for his suggestions concerning physics. Abstract The thesis is an attempt to explore various ways in which Michael Frayn employs the philosophical implications of Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and Niels Bohr’s complementarity principle in his play Copenhagen and to find out how he works with the theme of memory in the text. The theoretical part puts the play into the frame of the science theatre genre and offers a brief overview of depiction of memory in literature. The practical part then analyses the theme of memory in connection with quantum physics in the text and covers the development of our perception of the characters. Key words: Frayn, Copenhagen, uncertainty, memory, science theatre Abstrakt Diplomová práce je pokusem prozkoumat, jakými způsoby Michael Frayn ve své divadelní hře Kodaň aplikoval filosofické důsledky Heisenbergova principu neurčitosti a Bohrovy komplementarity a jak pracuje s tématem paměti. Teoretická část hru zasazuje do kontextu žánru science theatre a nabízí stručný přehled zobrazování paměti v literatuře. Praktická část analyzuje spojení paměti a kvantové fyziky v textu a popisuje, jak se mění naše hodnocení postav.

  • Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt
    Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt, in the Strand. MDCCLXI To EDWARD GIBBON, Esq;[1] Dear Sir, No performance is, in my opinion, more contemptible than a Dedication of the common sort; when some great man is presented with a book, which, if Science be the subject, he is inca- pable of understanding; if polite Literature, incapable of tasting: and this honor is done him, as a reward for virtues, which he neither does, nor desires to, possess. I know but two kinds of ded- ications, which can do honor either to the patron or author. The first is, when an unexperienced writer addresses himself to a master of the art, in which he endeavours to excel; whose example he is ambitious of imitating; by whose advice he has been directed, or whose approbation he is anxious to deserve. The other sort is yet more honorable. It is dictated by the heart, and offered to some person who is dear to us, because he ought to be so. It is an opportunity we embrace with pleasure of making public those sentiments of esteem, of friendship, of gratitude, or of all together, which we really feel, and which therefore we desire should be known. I hope, dear Sir, my past conduct will easily lead you to discover to what principle you should attribute this epistle; which, if it surprises, will, I hope, not displease you.
