Twenty-First Century Drama
Author: Siân Adiseshiah
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137484039
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Within this landmark collection, original voices from the field of drama provide rich analysis of a selection of the most exciting and remarkable plays and productions of the twenty-first century. But what makes the drama of the new millenium so distinctive? Which events, themes, shifts, and paradigms are marking its stages? Kaleidoscopic in scope, Twenty-First Century Drama: What Happens Now creates a broad, rigorously critical framework for approaching the drama of this period, including its forms, playwrights, companies, institutions, collaborative projects, and directors. The collection has a deliberately British bent, examining established playwrights – such as Churchill, Brenton, and Hare – alongside a new generation of writers – including Stephens, Prebble, Kirkwood, Bartlett, and Kelly. Simultaneously international in scope, it engages with significant new work from the US, Japan, India, Australia, and the Netherlands, to reflect a twenty-first century context that is fundamentally globalized. The volume’s central themes – the financial crisis, austerity, climate change, new forms of human being, migration, class, race and gender, cultural politics and issues of nationhood – are mediated through fresh, cutting-edge perspectives.

ISBN: 1462881181
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
I Profess is a diverse collection of poems that reveal the inner thoughts and emotions of a romantic and a dreamer. Author Joey Harrison straight-forwardly unleashes his poetic sentiments that are filled with longings, desires, dreams, goals, and passion. In this remarkable anthology, readers will find a very distinctive choice of words that stand out from the average poetry, for this selection of words are artistic but direct, creative but precise. No holds barred, Harrison shares his most intimate insights in a confessing fashion. In many of the poetries he shares his longing for a woman's love, her attention and her desires and at the same time, he also lets readers in on the passionate aspects of his mental faculty. An eclectic piece of literature, this book shows the versatile and invigorating fresh insights of a unique man with outstanding dreams. Also readers will find Harrison defining his life through creative metaphors, whilst finding its meaning in the most ironic and contradicting of objects and places. I Profess is like a poetic emblem of a trapped soul, one that, after a long period of imprisonment, unveils its face to the world. This book is a compelling and inspiring read that serves as recognition of the inner stirrings of the human heart, mind and soul that finally comes out and dreams things that are larger than ones' self.

The Old Curiosity Shop
Author: Charles Dickens
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1605209988
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Part II of The Old Curiosity Shop, which was originally serialized in Dickens's own periodical, Master Humphrey's Clock, in 1840 and 1841. The story of the orphan Nell Trent, who lives with her grandfather in the establishment by which the book takes its name, it is both beloved and disparaged for Dickens's treatment of, as Oscar Wilde famously termed it, "the death of little Nell," the suspense surrounding which was comparable to the Harry Potter phenomenon of today.
