The Drama of the Ages (Classic Reprint) by Ella R. Shaeffer Pdf

Excerpt from The Drama of the Ages It was in the days of Eber that the curtain first rises upon the Drama of the Ages; it was the first of a series of crises in the history of nations. As yet there were no nations, states, nor empires; the world was an infant; the land of Shinar its cradle - Let not the student of history vainly wonder when the protoplasmic chits began first to wiggle; nor how long it would take them to become intelligent enough to build the Sphinx and the Pyramids; for Egypt had not yet been born; there were no Greeks nor Romans; no foot of man had penetrated the Steppe country; no voice of man had broken the stillness of China, Hindostan or Korea; no eye of man had looked upon Mt. Fuji Yama no human lips had formed the word Ameri ca; there were no Indians anywhere; the Islands of the sea awaited the coming of man. In the days of Eber still lived the fathers of our race; from them have come all the nations and people that are on the earth; the tenth chapter of the book of Genesis gives the origin of nations; and there is no other. Eber had a son whom he named Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided And all the earth was of one lan guage and of one speech, and it was the design of God that the people should scatter out and fill the earth; but there were some who said let us build us a city and a tower -and let us make us a name, lest the people be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. This was the plan the meaning of which was nothing short of an organized attempt to establish a centralized power, a one man power making one man absolute monarch of all. This plan met with a protest in demonstration of the great power Of God by which was the origin Of languages and of nations. Nimrod was the leader of this conquest for wide spread dominion and a one man power. To this movement Eber was an able opponent. Nimrod taught the people in public and in private that a monarchy is the only safe and natural form of government; but Eber taught that monarchal form of government would spell slavery, degradation, ignorance, squalor, superstition and murder; and that they would hold their liberty and their lands by the Slippery tenure of the will of the prince. He said that liberty is the gift of God, and that all are the com mon children of the Creator; that the earth with all its wealth and beauty is free to all; that the kind of rule pro posed by Nimrod is contrary to the divine order, and that should it prevail, their posterity would read the history of the world written in the blood of countless millions.

Dramatic Traditions of the Dark Ages (Classic Reprint) by Joseph S. Tunison Pdf

Excerpt from Dramatic Traditions of the Dark Ages The author of this book sincerely hopes that it will not be taken as a history of the drama in the Dark Ages. He does not assert more than a sporadic cultivation of what would now be called the legitimate theater at any part of the period between Constantine and Otto III. He has merely attempted to hold a brief for one of the parties to a controversy which, in his Opinion, has either been ignored or decided incorrectly, for nearly three-quarters of a millennium. This con troversy must be brought to a final decision before the literary history of Europe can be written cor rectly. As was recently said in The N ation (vol. LXXXII, No. 2128, p. 307, col. The im mense value to mediaeval Europe of the influence coming from the Eastern Empire is only in part recognized as yet; and, if this be true in the domain of art, it is equally true in nearly every other department of human activity.

The Age of Shakespeare, Vol. 2 by Thomas Seccombe Pdf

Excerpt from The Age of Shakespeare, Vol. 2: 1579-1631; Drama Few events in our literary history, as the historian Green points out, are so startling as this sudden rise of the Elizabethan drama. The first public theatre was erected only in the middle of the Queen's reign. Before the close of it twelve theatres existed in London alone. Fifty dramatic poets, many of the first order, appear in the fifty years which precede the closing of the theatres by the Puritans; and great as is the number of their works which have perished, we still possess two or three hundred dramas, all written within this period, many of which belong to the world's literature.

The Influence of the Drama (Classic Reprint) by Granville Forbes Sturgis Pdf

Excerpt from The Influence of the Drama Lives there a thoughtful person who has not at some time paused to consider that great question, The Influence of the Drama? It is a question which has been uppermost in the minds of men of all Ages so far as we have record, and it no doubt troubled the minds of the men who first reviewed our earliest preserved dramatic writing, that wonderful allegory, The Book of Job. It is not the purpose of the present volume to draw conclusions as to the definite moral effect of the Drama upon the Peoples of the Ages, but rather to trace the various forms of influence of the Drama, and its ways of producing that influence, and leave it to each reader to make his own deductions. The subject is vast and of necessity its treatment must be merely suggestive. It is to be hoped the reader may be assisted in arriving at a definite deter mination in regard to many things connected with the Play which may hitherto have troubled him.

Art of the Drama (Classic Reprint) by Fred B. Millett Pdf

Excerpt from Art of the Drama This book is not a history of the drama. Nor is it a manual for the multitudes who aspire to write plays and sell them. It is a tool for the use of those who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their enjoyment of plays witnessed in the theater or read in the study. As a textbook, it may prove useful in the study of the history of the drama or of the drama as a literary type, or in such a course as the Introduction to the Study of Drama as given at the University of Chicago. The book is divided into three parts, each of which emphasizes a particular aspect of the drama. Part I is mainly devoted to the historical aspect of the drama, the spirit of the age, the nature of the theater and audience in each of the major periods in dramatic his tory. It also contains a general discussion of the major forms or types of drama - tragedy, comedy, melodrama, and farce - and a more detailed consideration of the types of drama and comedy characteristic of each period. Part II considers the major modes of drama - classicism, romanticism, realism, sentimentalism, symbol ism, and expressionism. Part III concerns the major problems of dramatic technique and the characteristic solutions of those prob lems in the various types and modes and periods of drama. There is no question that it would have been more logical to con sider first the technical, second the aesthetic, and third the historical approach to the study of drama, and students of a logical turn of mind will have no difficulty in using the text in that order. But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III.

Euripides and His Age (Classic Reprint) by Gilbert Murray Pdf

Excerpt from Euripides and His Age Most of the volumes of this series are occupied with large subjects and subjects commonly recognized as important to great masses of people at the present day. In devoting the present volume to the study of a single writer, remote from us in time and civilization and scarcely known by more than name to many readers of the Library, I am moved by the belief that, quite apart from his disputed greatness as a poet and thinker, apart from his amazing and perhaps unparalleled success as a practical playwright, Euripides is a figure of high significance in the history of humanity and of special interest to our own generation.

University Drama in the Tudor Age (Classic Reprint) by FREDERICK S. BOAS Pdf

Excerpt from University Drama in the Tudor Age The present volume is the result of work which, in various ways, has extended over a number of years. In 1903 - 4, while I held the Chair of English Literature in the Queen's College (now the Queen's University), Belfast, I gave as Clark Lecturer in Trinity College, Cambridge, a series of lectures on the English Academic Drama. The delivery of this course within the walls of a great society, which had been one of the chief centres of academic acting, led me to follow the subject further, and to attempt a somewhat detailed study of University Drama in the Tudor age.

A Short History of the English Drama (Classic Reprint) by Benjamin Brawley Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of the English Drama This book makes no special effort to be either original or profound. It aims simply to set forth in brief compass the main facts that one might wish to have at hand in his first course in the English Drama. The great revival of interest in this subject within recent years has produced many noteworthy studies, especially in the literature of the age of Elizabeth; but, singularly enough, most of the books that have been written have been for those who already knew most about the subject. The present work pre supposes only that the student has had an elementary col lege course in the history of English Literature, and with just so much as a basis it endeavors to assist him as he passes on to the study of the greatest of the forms that this literature has so far assumed.
