Описание: During the early days of the professional English theatre, dramatists wrote for playhouses that, though enclosed by surrounding walls, remained open to the ambient air and the sky above. This book considers the various ways in which the air is brought into presence within early modern drama.

Описание:
Twenty-two leading experts on early modern drama collaborate in this volume
to explore three closely interconnected research questions. To what extent did
playwrights represent dramatis personae in their entertainments as forming, or
failing to form, communal groupings? How far were theatrical productions likely
to weld, or separate, different communal groupings within their target audiences?
And how might such bondings or oppositions among spectators have tallied with
the community-making or -breaking on stage? Chapters in Part One respond to
one or more of these questions by reassessing general period trends in censorship,
theatre attendance, forms of patronage, playwrights' professional and linguistic
networks, their use of music, and their handling of ethical controversies.
In Part Two, responses arise from detailed re-examinations of particular plays
by Shakespeare, Chapman, Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Cary, Webster, Middleton,
Massinger, Ford, and Shirley. Both Parts cover a full range of early-Stuart
theatre settings, from the public and popular to the more private circumstances
of hall playhouses, court masques, women's drama, country-house theatricals,
and school plays. And one overall finding is that, although playwrights frequently
staged or alluded to communal conflict, they seldom exacerbated such divisiveness
within their audience. Rather, they tended toward more tactful modes of
address (sometimes even acknowledging their own ideological uncertainties) so
that, at least for the duration of a play, their audiences could be a community
within which internal rifts were openly brought into dialogue.

Analyses appropriations of King Lear in post-war British drama
Provides the first dedicated study on appropriations of King Lear in British playwriting of the post-war, developing valuable new perspectives on the legacy of Shakespeare in post-war drama and culture.
Features original case studies on Edward Bond, David Rudkin, Howard Barker, Sarah Kane, Forced Entertainment and Dennis Kelly.
Situates appropriations of King Lear in a wider literary, theatrical and philosophical discourse around the play and the Holocaust.
Brings Shakespeare and post-war British drama into conversation with Continental philosophy and theory.
Since the events of the Holocaust, playwrights have variously appropriated King Lear to respond to the catastrophes of modern times. With case studies on the works of Edward Bond, David Rudkin, Howard Barker, Sarah Kane, Forced Entertainment and Dennis Kelly, the book explores a range of theatres of catastrophe in post-war British drama and the role that Lear has played in new forms of post-Holocaust tragedy and tragic freedom. Plays are situated in a wider critical and cultural discourse around Shakespeare and the Holocaust and the post-Auschwitz philosophical aesthetics of Theodor Adorno, whose influence on post-war playwriting remains profound.
