The Compass: The Improvisational Theatre That Revolutionized American Comedy

The Compass: The Improvisational Theatre That Revolutionized American Comedy

Janet Coleman

University of Chicago Press
1991
nidottu
Janet Coleman brilliantly recreates the time, the place, the personalities, and the neurotic magic whereby the Compass made theater history in America. The Compass began in a storefront theater near the University of Chicago campus in the summer of 1955 and lasted only a few years before its players--including David Shepherd, Paul Sills, Elaine May, Mike Nichols, Barbara Harris, and Shelley Berman--moved on. Out of this group was born a new form: improvisational theater and a radically new kind of comedian. "They did not plan to be funny or to change the course of comedy," writes Coleman. "But that is what happened." "For anyone who is interested in theatre, underground theatre, improvisational theatre, and the sheer madness of trying something new with a repertory group, The Compass will prove a welcome history with fascinating details."--Norman Mailer "Janet Coleman has done a spectacular job of capturing the history, the almost alarmingly diverse cultural influences, and the extraordinary people who made up the Compass."--Neal Weaver, Los Angeles Village View "Engrossing. . . . An open window on a part of the theater that should be known."--Arthur Miller "A valuable chronicle of an important chapter in the history of comedy and theater."--William Wolf, New York Observer "The eruptive, disruptive talents who made the theater memorable are the same ones who make The Compass a good read."--Jay Cocks, Time "A moving, inspirational, anecdote-studded feast."--Publishers Weekly

Ancient and Medieval Memories

Ancient and Medieval Memories

Janet Coleman

Cambridge University Press
2005
pokkari
This book is an analysis of thinking, remembering and reminiscing according to ancient authors, and their medieval readers. The author argues that behind the various medieval methods in interpreting texts of the past lie two apparently incompatible theories of human knowledge and remembering, as well as two differing attitudes to matter and intellect. The book comprises a series of studies which take ancient texts as evidence of the past, and show how medieval readers and writers understood them. The studies confirm that medieval and renaissance interpretations and uses of the past differ greatly from modern interpretation and yet betray many startling continuities between modern and ancient and medieval theories.

A History of Political Thought

A History of Political Thought

Janet Coleman

Blackwell Publishers
2000
sidottu
This volume continues the story of European political theorising by focusing on medieval and Renaissance thinkers. It includes extensive discussion of the practices that underpinned medieval political theories and which continued to play crucial roles in the eventual development of early-modern political institutions and debates. The author strikes a balance between trying to understand the philosophical cogency of medieval and Renaissance arguments on the one hand, elucidating why historically-suited medieval and Renaissance thinkers thought the ways they did about politics; and why we often think otherwise.

Janet Coleman's two volume history of European political theorising, from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance is the introduction which many have been waiting for. In this volume, Coleman discusses the acknowledged great works of Greek, Roman, and early Christian writers to show how the historical contexts in which certain ideas about ethics and politics became dominant or fell from dominance, help to explain the ideas themselves. Throughout she draws on recent scholarly commentaries written by specialists in philosophy, contemporary political theory, classical languages and cultures, and on ancient and early Christian history and theology. Janet Coleman shows that the Greeks and Romans' arguments can be seen as logical and coherent if we can grasp the questions they thought it important to answer.

English Literature in History, 1350–1400

English Literature in History, 1350–1400

Janet Coleman

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
The second half of the fourteenth century was an important transition period both in the spheres of literary form and message, and of social, economic, and political power. First published in 1981, English Literature in History, 1350–1400 discusses fourteenth-century literature, verse and prose, in Anglo-Norman, Latin, and Middle English, and with the way in which social change—particularly the growth of lay literacy and social mobility—is expressed in the literature. Dr Coleman argues that relatively few works were meant merely to entertain, but rather to instruct, exhort, and ultimately inspire readers to criticize and reform social practice. The increasing emphasis on private responsibility, to bring the practice of Christian ethics more in line with ideals, is also apparent in the growing emphasis on authorial responsibility. This concern reflected the developing public voice of a powerful section of the population—the middle class. The book begins with the vexed question of literacy and lay education, proceeds to an exploration of the growth in the literature of social unrest, and attempts to draw some conclusions about the nature of preaching and the gradual decline of memory in favour of the written text. Finally, the book focuses on the way in which school theology filtered down into non-scholastic literature, to enlighten an enlarged readership on the issues that confronted them as private, individual Christians, and as servants and citizens devoted to the common weal. This book will help students to read fourteenth-century literature with an eye and ear better able to realize the significance of its subject matter, and to recognize the subtleties of stylistic experiment. Dr Coleman discusses in detail many of the standard texts of medieval literature (including works by Gower and Langland), presenting complex and unfamiliar ideas in a lively and engrossing way.

Stories from Mesa Country

Stories from Mesa Country

Jane Candia Coleman

Swallow Press
1991
sidottu
An excerpt from Stories from Mesa Country: "They are coming back from the burial ground. I can see them walking, two abreast, along the narrow track by the wash. Tom has his head down, his hands in the pockets of his black suit. Beside him, Reverend Sherman is talking, waving his arms, trying, I'd guess, to comfort. Behind them come Enid and Faith, square shapes in best blue dresses, and then Seth and Arch, leggy as colts, uncomfortable in Sunday suits, in the shadow of tragedy. Now a space, long seconds passing before I see Luisa. She is alone, walking slowly. She is crying. I know that, even from this distance, from my bed beside the window. She wipes her eyes on her apron. Her shoulders heave. She has been crying for three days. "I wish I could shout so they could hear me. I wish the Reverend would go to her, assure her of her place in heaven and in our house. I wish one of them, Tom or the children, would take her by the arm, lead her home. Instead they act as if she is not there at all, perhaps thinking that if they ignore her she will vanish and with her this house, these three days, the newly turned earth in the far field. "Well, they are wrong. None of it will disappear. We'll live with it, tiptoe around it, make excuses and blame each other. And who is to blame? Tom, for coming here to homestead at the foot of the red rock mountains? For begetting children upon my body? Sons to inherit, daughters to marry? Or I, in my -- not innocence, that's not the word I want -- my cocoon, my shroud of womanhood that brought me here, a continent away from home to wifehood, motherhood, acceptance of death as a part of life? Birth and death are what I see and take for granted. Life comes and goes with the seasons, with the years. There is a violence in this soil, in the people who labor on it. Perhaps it is only the truth of the earth, and one accepts it or goes down in defeat."

Discovering Eve

Discovering Eve

Jane Candia Coleman

Swallow Press
1993
sidottu
This collection of stories by award-winning write Jane Candia Coleman is about women coming of age. In each one, the protagonist discovers facets, truths about herself and the world that she has not known—finds places in herself where she has never been. "It's long past time for women to explain themselves in fiction," Coleman writes, "particularly literary fiction, to write about the world and their own emotions with that sensuality that characterizes women writers—to write from the inside out, and not vice versa. "Living is a voyage of discovery, and I hope that the readers of these stories will identify with them and, perhaps, take courage from the actions of the characters I have had the pleasure of bringing to life. "In no way did I mean to slight men in this collection. Rather, I hoped to elucidate the relationships between men and women (good and bad relationships) and the possible ways of continuing or ending such relationships. "I have long admired D. H. Lawrence for the fact that he brought literature out of the Victorian Age, but I have also been frustrated by his inability to understand women. Several of these stories, particularly 'Wives and Lovers' and 'La Signora Julia,' were written as rebuttals to what I perceived as Lawrence's innocence. "The symbolism in 'Wives and Lovers' was unintentional, but it is there—the heart of the flower/the heart, mind, body of the female protagonist. So perhaps the most important point is that in Discovering Eve I have tried to elucidate what it is that a woman feels, and how, and why, from my own depths and from the depths of my characters who are struggling for wisdom, strength, the courage to survive."
