  • Contribution of Ben Jonson to Development of the English Renaissance Comedy
    УДК: 821.111.09-22 Џонсон Б. ИД: 195292940 Оригинални научни рад ДОЦ. ДР СЛОБОДАН Д. ЈОВАНОВИЋ1 Факултет за правне и пословне студије „др Лазар Вркатић” Катедра за англистику, Нови Сад CONTRIBUTION OF BEN JONSON TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE COMEDY Abstract. Ben Jonson’s Works, published in 1616, included all his comedies written that far, and meant an important precedent which helped to establish drama as lit- erary kind comparable to the rest of literature. Before that date, drama was regarded as un- worthy of the name of literature, and Jonson was the first to give it its new dignity. His comedies written after 1616 were usually published immediately after they were acted. Jonson’s theoretical interests were an expression of his intellectual aristocratism and his realistic temperament. He took pride in being able to create comedies according to the best scientific rules, and felt superior to those who made them by sheer talent. Jonson was the only theoretician among the English Renaissance dramatists, but although he was ready to fight for his rules, his application of them was broad and elastic. In his comedies there are many departures from classical models, often modified by his keen observation of every- day English life. The theory he adhered to was an abstract and rigid kind of realism, which in his practice was transformed by his gift of observation and his moral zeal into a truly realistic and satirical comic vision of life. Key words: comedy, drama, theory, classical models, everyday English life, realism, satire. 1 [email protected] 348 Зборник радова Филозофског факултета XLII (1)/2012 EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITY, OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION Benjamin or Ben Jonson (1573?-1637) was the central literary personality of the first two decades of the XVII century.

  • Types of Comedy for Drama Class
    Types of Comedy for Drama Class Studying comedy can be o ne of the most enjoyable units of work in any high school drama program. One of the advantages of comedy is there are so many sub genres of this form that can be isolated for investigation and performance at different levels of schooling. I find the more visual and physical forms of comedy are enjoyed by junior students, while understandably senior students often find literary and sophisticated forms of comedy rich and rewarding in their drama studies. One of the main challenges of studying comedy is that the end product should not just be entertaining, but humorous for the audience. Considering the audience is usually students’ peers in their own classroom, they often discover it is a fine line between being funny or embarrassed when the humour falls flat. So, creating a culture of acceptance in your drama classroom where students will not ridicule those who take a risk with their comedy performances, is essential. Below I have compiled a 30 different comedy forms with my own descriptions, suggested year levels at which to study them in drama, plus links to relevant published articles on The Drama Teacher. Low Comedy requires little skill in the scripting (if there is a script at all). Often a visual or highly physical work. Appropriate for all year levels. Slapstick is knockabout, physical humour. Media examples include The Three Stooges, The Marx Bros, Laurel and Hardy and Mr Bean. Appropriate for all year levels. Farce involves ridiculous, improbable situations. Media examples include Fawlty Towers and Monty Python.

The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: drama), which is derived from the verb meaning "to do" or "to act‖. The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception.

Mohammed Ghouse Instructional Media Centre Maulana Azad National Urdu University Gachibowli, Hyderabad - 32 T.S. India //imcmanuu What is a drama? What are the elements of drama? What are the dramatic devices? What are the types of drama? So far as the first point is concerned Drama is one of the forms of literature. We also use the word “play” for drama. It is a story with dialogues and actions. It is meant to be performed in front of an audience by actors who take on the roles of characters. Its full qualities are revealed when it is perfomed on stage. Its a collaborative work. The dramatist works with director, producer, actors, dress makers, musicians, electricians, scene painters and many others. The elements of drama are Plot Character Theme Setting The first is Plot Plot is the arrangement of events of the story. This arrangement has a cause and effect relationship. In a drama, the plot is in the form of scenes and acts. The typical Elizabethan drama was devided into five acts each comprising a number of scenes. But, in a modern drama, we find three acts. Moreover, we can also have a one act play. According to the type of drama, the plot may vary. Sometimes it has a single main plot. But, it can also have sub plots.

Degree awarded December 2019 ii © 2019 Jessica Kim Rogers iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Jessica Kim Rogers Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre Arts December 2019 Title: “Sisters of the Pen”: Restoring Women to Early Modern Theatre History Pedagogy and Practice This dissertation looks at current theatre historiography in terms of pedagogy and performance practices on the topic of early modern (seventeenth century) female dramatists, via select dramatic works of Elizabeth Cary, Viscountess Falkland; Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle; and Aphra Behn. As early modern feminists, Cary, Cavendish, Behn, writing in different eras of the seventeenth century, each impacted theatre historiography by providing their unique perspectives on the roles of women in their times. Each of these women have a substantial history of literary study extending back decades; however, current practices in the areas of theatre history and theatre production minimize or dismiss the dramatic contributions of these women, generally for reasons pertaining to gender, and as such, there has been considerable oversight in the theatrical field as a result.

  • The Dramatist and His Age: Ben Jonson and His Comedies
    www.ijird.com October, 2015 Vol 4 Issue 11 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) The Dramatist and His Age: Ben Jonson and His Comedies Dr. Olaniyan, Modupe Elizabeth Senior Lecturer, Department of Theatre and Media Arts, Ekiti State University (Eksu), Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria Abstract: The relevance of drama and the dramatist to society is an ever-recurring issue. The dramatist’s assignment of rebuking his society be it liberal or revolutionary society, is to reform it and make it literally whole again. This is an enduring social function. The societal function of the dramatist is dictated by the social world, just as his consciousness is also moulded by it. His obligation is to awaken men to the ethical and humanistic values of life with the intention of reforming or revolutionizing it. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the picture of some outstanding phases of the contemporary life of Ben Jonson and to estimate their values as a contribution to the knowledge and understanding of his time; such subjects like the influence of the Court and the inter-relationship of classes, the problem of dramatic arts and the taste of theatre-goers, the methods and aims of contemporary scholarship, the character and significance of everyday life. The work looks at the colour and atmosphere of London at one of its fascinating moments and Jonson’s contributions towards sanitizing the decadent society through his comedies. Keywords: Comedy, Decadence, Dramatist, Jonson and London. 1. Introduction Jonson’s life and works are inspirational enough for anyone who has read about him to write in praise and appreciation of an amiable man with an indomitable character and an insatiable quest for knowledge.

Paris: PUF, 1983, p. 48: “le solipsisme n’est ni une aberration, ni un sophisme: c’est la structure même de la raison.” 2.
