The Growth and Structure of Elizabethan Comedy

The Growth and Structure of Elizabethan Comedy

M.C. Bradbrook

University of California Press
2022
sidottu
The Growth and Structure of Elizabethan Comedy is a rich exploration of the evolution, dynamics, and cultural underpinnings of comedy during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. This work delves into the interplay of popular traditions and learned classical influences, illustrating how Elizabethan drama emerged from the fusion of folk revelry, rhetorical traditions, and evolving theatrical practices. It examines the roots of comedy in seasonal festivals, city pageantry, and moralistic plays, while also addressing the challenges faced by playwrights as they sought to balance the expectations of public entertainment with the structured demands of classical forms. Through an engaging analysis of major figures like Shakespeare and Jonson, the book traces how these writers navigated and shaped the comedic landscape, creating works that bridged the gap between the popular and the scholarly. This comprehensive study not only contextualizes the comedies within their historical and social milieu but also highlights their enduring relevance. The book offers insights into the vibrant collaboration between audiences and performers, the transition from oral to literary traditions, and the shifting dynamics of humor, satire, and social commentary. From the organic growth seen in Shakespeare’s works to the structured precision of Jonson’s, The Growth and Structure of Elizabethan Comedy captures the vitality and complexity of a theatrical golden age. This is an essential resource for readers interested in the artistry, innovation, and cultural significance of one of the most dynamic periods in English literary history. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1956.

Literacy and Identity in Pre-Islamic Arabia

Literacy and Identity in Pre-Islamic Arabia

M.C.A. Macdonald

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2008
sidottu
In these studies Michael Macdonald examines the extraordinary flowering of literacy in both the settled and nomadic populations of western Arabia in the 1500 years before the birth of Islam, when a larger proportion of the population could read and write than in any other part of the ancient Near East, and possibly any other part of the ancient world. Even among the nomads there seems to have been almost universal literacy in some regions. The scores of thousands of inscriptions and graffiti they left paint a vivid picture of the way-of-life, social systems, and personal emotions of their authors, information which is not available for any other non-élite population in the ancient Near East outside Egypt. This abundance of inscriptions has enabled Michael Macdonald to explore in detail some of the - often surprising - ways in which reading and writing were used in the literate and non-literate communities of ancient Arabia. He describes the many different languages and the distinct family of alphabets used in ancient Arabia, and discusses the connections between the use of particular languages or scripts and expressions of personal and communal identity. The problem of how ancient perceptions of ethnicity in this region can be identified in the sources is another theme of these papers; more specifically, they deal from several different perspectives with the question of what ancient writers meant when they applied the term 'Arab' to a wide variety of peoples throughout the ancient Near East.

In the Margins of Deconstruction

In the Margins of Deconstruction

M.C. Srajek

Springer
1998

Although this book is a study of the work of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, it would be mistaken to refer to it as a comparison. The book develops a framework which might aide the reader of Levinas and Derrida in determining the scope and significance of their respective projects as far as a discourse of the sacred is concerned. It does so by emphasizing their status as philosophers whose thought correlates but does not compare. Within this correlation, without obscuring either their differences or similarities, we can see a common framework that consists of the following elements. First, it is clear from what and how Derrida and Levinas have written that the general import of their work lies in the area of ethics. However, in many ways it would be justifiable to say that their work is not about ethics at all. Neither of them proposes a moral theory; neither is interested in discussing the question of values vs. social norms, duty vs. virtue and other issues that might pertain to the area of ethics. To be sure, these issues do come up in their work, yet they are treated in a peculiarly different way. For Derrida and Levinas, ethics is not so much an inquiry into the problems of right and wrong but an inquiry into the problem of the ethical constitutedness of human beings.
