University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this docum ent 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" the 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. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

CONCLUSION............................................. 61 APPENDIX: A HANDLIST OF BURLETTAS Introduction ................................. 92 A Handlist of Burlettas ..................... 95 BIBLIOGRAPHY .................... 159 V INTRODUCTION The Burletta is. the dramatic genre most closely associated with London's minor theatres of the nineteenth century. From about 1 8 0 0, when these theatres were first commonly licensed to perform burlettas, until 181+3 , when the practice of restricting theatrical licenses to certain kinds of performances was terminated, the minor houses and the genre were inseparable: the burletta was the drama of the minor theatres; the minors were theatres that performed burlettas. These basic facts can be deduced easily by sampling the theatrical writings of nineteenth-century Englishmen or from nearly any of the modern scholarly works that deal with the era. An attempt to learn very much about the burletta from these sources, however, Is likely to prove more confusing than enlightening. Nineteenth-century writers offer such a wealth of divergent and. conflicting descriptions of the burletta that little emerges clearly except its association with the minor playhouses. Fany complain that the term is impossible to define, as docs George Colman the Younger in his widely quoted remark, "ask now, what is a Burletta, and you will be told it Is one thing, at one theatre, and another, at another."^ Colman should have been as clear on the matter as anyone of his age: when he penned this comment In 1830, he was the British government's Licenser of Flays. ^George Column the Younger, Random Records, I (London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1 8 3 0 ), p. 50. 1 2 Modern scholarship has shed little light on the matter of the burletta* In spite of its significance in British theatre history, the burletta has received scant attention from theatre scholars. Although many studies of the English stage mention the genre in passing, fev attempt to deal with it in any detail, or to define it more closely than as the drama of the minor theatres. Only three studies stand out as offering more than a passing glance at the burletta, and their coverage of the subject is far from complete. 2 Watson Nicholson*b The Struggle for a Free Stage in London is the most comprehensive treatment of the legal history of London's minor theatres. Nicholson details the efforts of the minors to break the great metropolitan theatres' monopoly on spoken drama during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, culminating in the general rewriting of England's theatrical lavs in I8U3 . Nicholson discusses fully the role of the burletta in the struggle between London's two theatrical classes: by gradually altering the legal definition of their "burlettas,” the minors were able to make them so nearly resemble the legitimate drama of the patent theatres that the letters' exclusive right to perform spoken drama became meaningless. Nicholson, however, gives no attention to the burletta as a dramatic genre; he is only concerned with the legal ramifications of the term in the operating licenses of the minor theatres. He tends to use the word "burletta" as a synonym for minor or "illegitimate" drama generally. 2 Watson Nicholson, The Struggle for a Free Stage in London (London: Archibald Constable « Co., Ltd.; Boston and Kev fork: Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 19^6). 3 In hie Sheridan to Robertson! A Study of the Nlncteenth- 3 Century London Stage, Ernest Bradlee Watson offers a more complete discussion of the "illegitimate" drama as veil as summarizing the legal controversy betveen the majors and the minors* In hie comments on the burletta, however, he uses the terra even more casually than does Nicholson. He treats the burletta as little more than a legal subterfuge, a name given by the minor playhouses to their works that encroached on the legitimate drama. Rather than attempting to define the burletta as a genre, Watson applies the word to nineteenth- century plays and dramatic commentary which make no such association themselves. In one instance, he quotes a lengthy 1828 description I* of a dumb-show as an example of an early burletta: the original makes no mention of the term, nor does any known nineteenth-century writer equate burlettas with dumb-shows. A more careful and thoughtful treatment of the burletta is found in Allardyce Nicoll's A History of English Drama, l660-1900»^ His hand-lists of English plays in the History contain many examples of the genre, often with useful information on productions, authorship, literary sources and other aspects of the plays.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

Jortner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation, prepared towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, examines “Yankee Theatre” in America and London through a post-colonial lens from 1787 to 1855. Actors under consideration include: Charles Mathews, James Hackett, George Hill, Danforth Marble and Joshua Silsbee. These actors were selected due to their status as iconic performers in “Yankee Theatre.” The Post-Revolutionary period in America was filled with questions of national identity. Much of American culture came directly from England. American citizens read English books, studied English texts in school, and watched English theatre. They were inundated with English culture and unsure of what their own civilization might look like.

  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA BALDASSARE GALUPPI (1706–1785) Thousands of English-speaking students are only familiar with this composer through a poem by Robert Browning entitled “A Toccata of Galuppi’s.” Few of these students had an inkling of who he was or had ever heard a note of his music. This is in keeping with the poem in which the toccata stands as a symbol of a vanished world. Although he was famous throughout his life and died a very rich man, soon after his death he was almost entirely forgotten until Browning resurrected his name (and memory) in his 1855 poem. He belonged to a generation of composers that included Christoph Willibald Gluck, Domenico Scarlatti, and CPE Bach, whose works were emblematic of the prevailing galant style that developed in Europe throughout the 18th century. In his early career he made a modest success in opera seria (serious opera), but from the 1740s, together with the playwright and librettist Carlo Goldoni, he became famous throughout Europe for his opera buffa (comic opera) in the new dramma giocoso (playful drama) style. To the suc- ceeding generation of composers he became known as “the father of comic opera,” although some of his mature opera seria were also widely popular. BALDASSARE GALUPPI was born on the island of Burano in the Venetian Lagoon on October 18, 1706, and from as early as age 22 was known as “Il Buranello,” a nickname which even appears in the signature on his music manuscripts, “Baldassare Galuppi, detto ‘Buranello’ (Baldassare Galuppi, called ‘Buranello’).” His father was a bar- ber, who also played the violin in theater orchestras, and is believed to have been his son’s first music teacher.

  • Black English in Britain in the Eighteenth Century
    Black English in Britain in the Eighteenth Century David Paisey for Ziggi Alexander and Audrey Dewjee Historians have added in various ways to our knowledge of the black presence in Britain during the eighteenth century, but one aspect has not figured largely in the accumulated evidence, namely records of how black people, a distinct underclass, spoke to each other and to all classes of the native white population. In a period long before sound recording, we are obviously dependent on written sources for indications of how lower-class groups spoke, that is to say their deviations in vocabulary, grammar, syntax and pronunciation from what we must call standard English, itself a construct from written sources. Accessible Court records from the period, of testimony by black defendants and witnesses, seem not to have been verbatim,1 and there is no key which might lead us to potential untapped sources in private manuscripts. It is also the case that works actually written and published by literate members of all ethnic groups generally aimed at the standard: this certainly applies to the published works of well- known black writers such as Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-1780), Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745-1797), Ottobah Cugoano (c. 1757-after 1791) and the African-American Phyllis Wheatley (c. 1753- 1784). There are exceptions, however, in various works of imaginative literature by non-black writers, and these will provide all my evidence here. Amongst these, drama looms large, since the words given to some (though not all) of its black characters constitute an attempt to provide non-speakers of Black English (the actors of the day) with what must have been thought a believable likeness of the real thing.
