We now enter the third year of our Page | 4 journey; it on one hand gives us a sense of contentment yet on the other hand alerts us into the daunting task of sustaining and developing this academic enterprise. We hope we live up to the standards we aim to stabilise and achieve. We now plan to tighten the editorial processes of selecting a submission for publishing. The focus would be on originality, and that we have decided not to compromise upon. The articles from now on will undergo a stringent set of processes to be able to feature in the upcoming issues. The contributors are motivated to write responding to their original thought processes and seek base in established theory. We are planning to come up with two issues. One on poetry and the other on translated stories. We shall communicate with you shortly on the information. Till then, exercise your grey cells and enjoy reading this issue. Happy Reading!

The period considered spans the English civil wars and Commonwealth to complicate the notion of a cessation of theatrical activity in 1642, and argues against the division of theatre history into distinct Renaissance and Restoration periods. The study builds on recent scholarly trends which have productively read early modern playing companies as consistent cultural entities with individual identities, by extending and applying this methodology to playhouse spaces. As such, this thesis proposes that all early modern playhouses had unique identities, and suggests that the frequent division into amphitheatre and indoor playhouses can produce an oversimplified binary with homogenising consequences.

    7 The Repertoire of the Renaissance Playing Companies Brian Jay Corrigan INTRODUCTION In the process of a decades-long labor of love I call The Compendium of Renaissance Drama, I have been able, perhaps for the first time, to create several comprehensive lists of extant plays in their original settings. Several years ago one such series of lists, covering playhouses and their repertoires, appeared in Discoveries, and I offer now another series of lists indicating playing companies and their repertoires. This compendium is now online at cord.ung.edu. These lists are a comprehensive reflection of the place of extant plays in the repertoires of the various playing companies, adult and children, from the time of Westminster’s Boys (1564) until the closing of the theatres in 1642. Company histories are taken from Gurr and from my own notes to be found also online in the Compendium of Renaissance Drama. Companies are listed alphabetically while the plays are listed below each company chronologically. The dates listed are keyed to Harbage and Schoenbaum’s Annals and are therefore only approximate. A question mark before an entry indicates there is debate over whether the company in question performed that play. A question mark after a date indicates doubt that the play in question was performed at or around that date. The note [later] indicates that the play is known or thought to have been performed by that company but in a year sometime after its original production. The following lists will contain repetitions where a play is known or strongly suspected to have been performed by more than one company.

  • The Influence and Association of Paratext in Caroline Drama by Audrey Birkett Royal Holloway, University of London Ph.D. Thesi
    The Influence and Association of Paratext in Caroline Drama By Audrey Birkett Royal Holloway, University of London Ph.D. Thesis 2011 Thesis Abstract This thesis is an in-depth analysis of the alliances, reputations, and meanings that were created within the Caroline dramatic community as a result of the playwrights’ meticulous use of paratext. By scrutinizing the paratexts (including prologues and epilogues, commendatory verses, and dedications to patrons and readers) of three different Caroline authors (William Davenant, Richard Brome, and John Ford), I have provided a picture of the divided and conflicting political and social landscapes of the professional theatre during the reign of Charles I. Through the use of such framing material, playwrights situated themselves in coteries that promoted very distinct outlooks on the purpose and place of drama. Within the commercial theatre, the desire to please, as well as shape diverse and complicated audience tastes, was forwarded in both printed and performed ancillary material. Playwrights used paratext to attract a specific audience to their published plays and explain the motives and meanings embedded in these texts. This material, while promoting one set of values, also worked to condemn competing ideals, as authors criticized peers in order to advance their own reputations and their own plays. Paratext was included as a matter of course in the era, to explain the author’s intentions in writing the play and to advertise the author in a specific and bespoke light. The paratexts that accompanied the plays of Davenant, Brome, and Ford helped shape and expand the reputation each man tried to form for himself.

EDITED FROM THE MATERIAL FORMED BY KIRKMAN, LANGBAINE. DOWXES, OLDYS, AND HALLIWELL-PHILLIPPS, WITH EXTE.\S/]'E ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS BY \V. CAREW HAZLITT. LONDON- PICKERING & CHATTO 66. ^AV^r ARRET. ,>AV, 1892 CP7 np PREFACE. -5 When I proposed to myself the superintendence of a new edition of A' Langbaine,* with the additional matter published by Mr. Halliwell- ^ Phillipps, F. R.S., F.S.A., etc., in iS6o, incorporated, I had no conception fthat beyond the entries and notes which I had gradually drawn together between i860 and 1S90, much would remain to be done. But during the process of amalgamating these insertions, I discovered on every page of the work a proof that my predecessor had discharged his task in a manner ^ infinitely more negligent and perfunctory than I had supposed, and it ^ became indispensable either to relinquish the undertaking, or to submit "^ to the onerous duty of revising the volume from beginning to end. 1 .^j was too warmly interested in my self-imposed labour to throw it up, and I i_ had to face the sole honourable alternative. No one can even cursorily gj e.\amine the two impressions side by side without perceiving how entirely the text has been castigated and improved ; but, of course, it will be easy for many to point out where I have failed, or might have accom- plished more. ^The Dictionary of Old English Fiays of i860 marked, of course, a great advance on Langbaine, but nothing in comparison with what it might have done in more careful and conscientious hands.

  • The Rhetoric of Rank in Early Modern Drama from 1590 to 1642
    THE RHETORIC OF RANK IN EARLY MODERN DRAMA FROM 1590 TO 1642 by MATTHEW BURDICK SMITH MICHELLE DOWD, COMMITTEE CHAIR DAVID AINSWORTH LUCY KAUFMAN TRICIA MCELROY CASSANDER SMITH A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2021 Copyright Matthew Burdick Smith 2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT My dissertation, “The Rhetoric of Rank in Early Modern Drama from 1590 to 1642,” argues that early modern dramatic works pull from rhetorical theory to shape social status in a period that underwent significant social transformations. Arguing that dramatists use early modern rhetorical manuals to respond to historically specific social tensions, I explore how dramatists use rhetorical figures to comment on social tensions between ranks, define the social role of emergent social roles, and define social values. While I explore the relationship between early modern drama and rhetorical manuals, I situate my analysis alongside the work of social historians to provide a historically situated account. I argue that rhetorical theory plays a central, though underexamined, role in the formation of those emergent social roles—like merchant or factor—and that dramatists dramatize the process of social (trans)formation through rhetorical figures. Furthermore, social formation itself is a process with often contradictory priorities and perspectives, and I show that dramatists use the semantic flexibility of rhetorical figures to support a range of attitudes that are sympathetic, tolerant, or even hostile towards social change, illustrating that social change is not the inevitable product of historical contexts but a process structured in part by rhetoric.

  • Xerox University Microfilms 77-2513 SHETLAND, Dudley Bourne, 1945- RICHARD BROME AS a DRAMATIC CRAFTSMAN
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" die material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
