  • The Perfect Wife”
    “THE PERFECT WIFE” BY RACHAEL CARNES ESTIMATED RUNNING TIME — 90 MINUTES CAST — SIX PERFORMERS Rachael Carnes, member: Dramatists Guild, National New Play Network, Playwrights Center, AWP 1050 W 17th Ave, Eugene OR 97402, 541-221-5792 www.rachaelcarnes.com [email protected] © 2017, All Rights Reserved. SUMMARY As revolution between England and its American colonies simmers, candy-colored Georgian society pits the woeful, starving masses against the excessive powers of the rich elite. One bright young man, Sir Thomas Day, rebuffed at every turn from would- be wives, despite his fortune, grows frustrated, and hatches a plan to steal an orphan, and raise her to be the Perfect Wife. Based on real events, this work of historical fiction opens in the Shrewsbury Foundling Hospital, with Day on the hunt. CHARACTERS Thomas Day A tall, dark-haired, pock-marked man of 21, disheveled, with stringy, matted long hair, dirty fingernails and drab, misshapen and fraying, but expensive, clothes. Sabrina (Anne) An “orphaned” girl, 12 years old, red-haired, freckled, dressed in a rough-hewn smock and no shoes. DUAL ROLES (MAN) Richard Etheridge A wealthy Irish inventor of useless mechanicals and Day’s foppish friend, a few years his elder, powdered and be- wigged, spritely as a grasshopper, he dresses in the au courante dandy Georgian men’s style — trussed in a corset, with fat, padded calves and a stuffed chest. Ferry Master Middle-aged, muscular, he wears a threadbare, high-cut sailor’s uniform, heavy black fisherman’s shoes and a wide, flat black hat over a dusty white bonnet.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations 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 through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Daalder V Oh! give us once again the wishing-cap Of Fortunatus, and the invisible coat Of Jack the Giant-killer, Robin Hood, And Sabra in the forest with St. George! The child, whose love is here, at least, doth reap One precious gain, that he forgets himself. WORDSWORTH D.L. Daalder, Wormcruyt met suycker VII Voorwoord Naar ik meen is dit de eerste poging, een historisch-critisch overzicht te geven van de Nederlandse kinderliteratuur. Het boek draagt daarvan duidelijk de sporen: het is uiterst subjectief en uiteraard onvolledig. Aan het eerste is niet te ontkomen, wanneer bij de beschouwing en de ordening van een in de loop der eeuwen opgestapeld feitenmateriaal een persoonlijke maatstaf wordt gehanteerd: wie als principe aanvaardt, dat ook een kinderboek een kunstwerk moet zijn kan èn om die stelling èn om de toepassing er van met recht worden bestreden. Ook de onvolledigheid is een noodzakelijk gevolg van deze waardering: veel van wat alle artisticiteit mist, kan worden genegeerd en aan de vergetelheid prijsgegeven. Maar ze is daarnaast toe te schrijven aan de onmogelijkheid voor één mens alles te kennen en alles te overzien - vrij veel is ontoegankelijk, verloren misschien en ondanks het feit, dat honderden en honderden boeken in de loop der jaren werden gelezen en beoordeeld, bleef heel wat onbekend en daardoor wellicht onbesproken. Terwijl èn dit tekort èn de subjectiviteit van axioma, interpretatie en beslissing, pas kunnen worden opgeheven door de studie en de waardering van velen.

  • Een Land Van Waan En Wijs. Geschiedenis Van De Nederlandse Jeugdliteratuur
    Een land van waan en wijs. Geschiedenis van de Nederlandse jeugdliteratuur Rita Ghesquiere, Vanessa Joosen en Helma van Lierop bron Rita Ghesquiere, Vanessa Joosen en Helma van Lierop, Een land van waan en wijs. Geschiedenis van de Nederlandse jeugdliteratuur. Atlas Contact, Amsterdam / Antwerpen 2016 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/ghes002land01_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 5 Dankwoord Het was enigszins overmoedig om een nieuwe geschiedenis van de Nederlandstalige jeugdliteratuur te willen schrijven, maar toen deze gedachte zich eenmaal in ons hoofd genesteld had, bleek ze onuitroeibaar. De hele Bibelebontse berg verscheen in 1989. In de tussentijd zijn de jeugdliteratuur en de kinder- en jongerencultuur verder geëvolueerd. Tijd dus om met nieuwe ogen achterom te kijken. We blijven onze voorgangers dankbaar omdat ze de weg baanden om jeugdliteratuur en jeugdliteraire geschiedschrijving serieus en wetenschappelijk aan te pakken. Hun voorbeeld was uitdagend, inspireerde en zette ons op weg. Maar Een land van waan en wijs konden we alleen maar in kaart brengen dankzij de hulp van uitstekende gidsen en verkenners die vertrouwd waren met het veelzijdige terrein van de jeugdliteratuur. We zochten en vonden auteurs die met kennis van zaken konden schrijven over bepaalde genres, thema's of nieuwe media, zoals games en televisieprogramma's, die geënt zijn op jeugdliteratuur. In de eerste plaats verdienen alle auteurs onze bijzondere dank omdat ze bereid waren om mee op weg te gaan en een stukje van die onontgonnen geschiedenis voor hun rekening te nemen. De auteurs zetten niet alleen hun deskundigheid in, ze wilden zich bovendien bij het schrijven aan het vooropgestelde concept, de feedback en het strakke tijdschema houden.
