Stephen Sondheim and the Reinvention of the American Musical

Stephen Sondheim and the Reinvention of the American Musical

Robert L. McLaughlin

University Press of Mississippi
2016
sidottu
From West Side Story in 1957 to Road Show in 2008, the musicals of Stephen Sondheim and his collaborators have challenged the conventions of American musical theater and expanded the possibilities of what musical plays can do, how they work, and what they mean. Sondheim's brilliant array of work, including such musicals as Company, Follies, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods, has established him as the preeminent composer/lyricist of his, if not all, time.Stephen Sondheim and the Reinvention of the American Musical places Sondheim's work in two contexts: the exhaustion of the musical play and the postmodernism that, by the 1960s, deeply influenced all the American arts. Sondheim's musicals are central to the transition from the Rodgers and Hammerstein-style musical that had dominated Broadway stages for twenty years to a new postmodern musical. This new style reclaimed many of the self-aware, performative techniques of the 1930s musical comedy to develop its themes of the breakdown of narrative knowledge and the fragmentation of identity. In his most recent work, Sondheim, who was famously mentored by Oscar Hammerstein II, stretches toward a twenty-first-century musical that seeks to break out of the self-referring web of language.Stephen Sondheim and the Reinvention of the American Musical offers close readings of all of Sondheim's musicals and finds in them critiques of the operation of power, questioning of conventional systems of knowledge, and explorations of contemporary identity.

Stephen King A Face Among The Masters

Stephen King A Face Among The Masters

Brighton David Gardner

2014
nidottu
With dozens of bestsellers and internationally praised novels, Stephen King has become a household name and well-known author worldwide. His novels such as Carrie and The Dark Tower series have captured audiences, catapulting the author to stardom. His "constant reader" base continues to grow and hang on the author's every published word. However, King isn't alone in the elite group of writers-authors from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries such as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Charles Dickens have also penned novels that captured the world. Upon closer look, King's stories and characters share striking resemblances to those of the great authors of the past. But, like the works of Poe, Lovecraft, and Dickens, can King's novels stand the test of time? Filled with examples from King's bestsellers, Stephen King: A Face among the Masters examines the author's inspirations and what makes his books so captivating. Why is Carrie still so relevant, decades after its publication? What makes 11/22/63's Jake Epping so memorable? How does King master creating such complex worlds in The Stand and The Dark Tower? These are the worlds only a master writer can create.

The Merit of Light: poems by Stephen Rifkin

The Merit of Light: poems by Stephen Rifkin

Stephen Rifkin

2014

A debut collection of poetry inspired by the author's relationship with his wife and their time living on an island in Maine.Rifkin's poems... communicate both the beauty and isolation of island life, and his wife's simple but lovely sketches enhance the poems, making them even more evocative. The illustration of birds flying over a moonlit ocean, which accompanies "Tides For the Moon," is especially pretty. Although the collection contains some love poems, including the very romantic "In Love," many are more impressionistic than overtly emotional. In the beautiful "Of Irises," the author displays his playful, creative skills with language: "in a garden / at dusk / blades stem and bud or now stars / bluish and blush." The collection's closing series of three poems, together titled "Views of Italy," strikes a more satisfying balance between a narrative style of verse and rich, thoughtful word choice. In "A Fury in the Trees of Tuscany," Rifkin writes, "Yet there was beauty, too, to be fair, / the fat-cheeked children, and the young mothers, / fair-skinned and dark, and not just blood on / the walls, / the tatter of flag stuck to a dying horse."Kirkus Indie Reviews
