There's No Clock In the Forest, a Comedy In Two Parts by Julian Scutts Pdf

The setting of this play is projected into the near future when we might envisage a global pilot scheme to establish an ideal campus. But what could that be? In German there is a saying "Unter den Talaren ist der Muff von Tausend Jahren." Under the scholar's gown is the stale fluff of a thousand years. Can the new age campus retain the best of ancient tradition and liberate itself from much in that tradition which is in dire need of reform? The clash of personalities coincides with a clash of attitudes and philosophies. On a more personal level two ambitious members of the academic faculty contend for the hand of a young student, who happens to be the daughter of the Head of the English department. The student body is enraged by the imposition of a video-controlled surveillance system known as the BEAST, and, taking a lead from Shakespeare, they retreat to the green wood.

There's No Clock in the Forest by Julian Scutts Pdf

The title of this play is a quotation from As You Like It by William Shakespeare, a delightful comedy in the fullest sense of that word. Comedy involves more than humour and funny scenes but presents an optimistic view of life and of the world. In As You Like It even the wicked usurper who forces the rightful ruler into exile finally repents and becomes a religious recluse. Come to think of it, all major religions share this optimism, be this expressed in the notion of the New Jerusalem or the concluding prayer in Jewish liturgy, the Aleinu, that looks forward to the day when even the most evil will submit to God. Is such optimism eyewash? At the darkest of times a sign of hope appears in some form or other, the Madonna of Stalingrad or the poetry of Paul Celan, a Holocaust survivor, who wrote on despite Adorno's statement that there could be no poetry after Auschwitz. What Shakespeare meant by the "clock" we discover in all systems that seek total control by precise measurements and surveillance. This play confronts that very issue in depicting the flight of university students to the woodlands near Glastonbury to escape the BEAST, Big Brother's ever watchful eye.

Shakespeare's Living Art by Rosalie Littell Colie Pdf

In this, her last book, Rosalie L. Colie suggests that by linking "forms"—verse forms, devices, motives, themes, conventions, genres—to the culture from which a writer springs and to his selection and organization of materials, we can understand the processes by which he becomes what he is, and is enabled to do what he does. She is particularly concerned with uncovering the ways in which Shakespeare used, misused, criticized, re-created, and sometimes revolutionized the received topics and devices of his craft. In this sense, Shakespeare's plays are seen as problem plays, each exploring the problematics of his craft and revealing his assessment of what was problematical. The author has chosen for study topics which connect Shakespeare with the long and rich continental Renaissance, in the hope that in the future Shakespeare might be, like Dante and Cervantes, an essential author in a comparatist's education. Usually a single topic dealing with some formal aspect of a play—the use of stereotypes to create a character highly original in stage practice, or the various manipulations of a mode (the pastoral, for example) rich in potentialities—is used to try to see in what particular ways Shakespeare shaped works that are still unique. Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
