Stock Pieces: British Repertory Theatre, 1760–1830
Author: Susan Valladares
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 183553788X
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
What do we gain from watching a familiar play for the nth time? This was a crucial question for Romantic-period theatre managers, who, to deliver varied programmes, relied on a repertoire of ‘stock’ entertainments performed in alternation with the latest plays. Repertory theatre was not new to the Romantic period, but it took on additional purchase at a time when the playhouse was not simply a site for entertainment but a government-controlled cultural institution and business, subject to sometimes extreme financial, political, and ideological pressures. Through an innovative selection of case studies drawn from deep archival research, Stock Pieces juxtaposes canonical with otherwise forgotten entertainments; unites the period’s professional and amateur dramatic cultures; and spans British metropolitan, provincial, and imperial geographies. The picture that emerges is fresh and compelling. Stock Pieces sheds light on the mechanics of stock piece status, the Romantic afterlives of Shakespeare’s near contemporaries (whose popular appeal declined as his increased), and the work of various agents (from pantomime arrangers to enslaved performers in Jamaica) who contested the repertoire’s received aesthetic and cultural values. It also explores the extent to which investments in the abolitionist cause were remediated by stock pieces that revived and reenacted the spectral violence of slavery and the slave trade – for various purposes. Stock Pieces showcases how the Romantic-period dramatic repertoire could be mobilised to signify social and political practices that operated outside the theatrical institution, crossed national borders, and dared to effect real change.

Spiritual Dimensions in the Music of Edmund Rubbra
Author: Lucinda Cradduck
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000803759
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Edmund Rubbra’s music has given him a reputation as a ‘spiritual’ composer, who had an interest in Eastern thought, and a mid-life conversion to Roman Catholicism. This book takes a wide and detailed view of ‘spiritual’ dimensions or strands that were important in his life, positioning them both biographically and within the context of contemporaneous English culture. It proceeds to interpret through detailed analysis the ways these spiritual aspects are reflected in specific compositions. Thematical treatment of these spiritual issues, touching on Theosophy, dance, Eastern religions and thought, nature, the evolutionary theory of Teilhard de Chardin and the Christ figure, presents a multi-faceted view of Rubbra’s life and music. Its contribution to a scholarly re-evaluation of his place within twentieth-century British music and culture engages and meshes with several areas of current scholarly research in the arts and humanities, including academic interest in Theosophy, modernism and the arts, experimental dance and the Indian cultural renaissance and East–West musical interactions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It also adds to a burgeoning body of writings on music and spirituality, fuelled by the popularity of later twentieth-century and contemporary composers who make more overt spiritual references in their music.
