When Churchyards Yawn by N.W. Erickson Pdf

The grave: where no one wants to be, but everyone will go. Or will they? And then stay put? There's the rub! Restless spirits abound here, from those who cannot go to their rest, to those who will not--and a motley assortment of those who, knowingly or not, go about disturbing them in diverse ways. And even some poor souls who didn't even know they were scheduled for departure. Oh, there's no one crankier than someone rudely awakened on the wrong side of the dirt! Come along, brave heart, as we venture abroad in good company of authors both familiar and obscure, exhuming Gothic tales, pulp fiction and more. We'll all be right here with you, m'dear . . . in spirit . . .

The Absent One by Susan L. Cole Pdf

Here is presented a new theory of the origins of tragedy, based on its perceived kinship with mourning ritual. Mourners and tragic protagonists alike journey through dangerous transitional states, confront the uncanny, express themselves in antithetical style, and, above all, enact their ambivalence toward their beloved dead. Elements common to both tragedy and mourning ritual are first identified in actual Chinese, African, and Greek funerary rites and then analyzed in tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare, Racine, Ibsen, O'Neill, Miller, Beckett, and Ionesco. Included is a firsthand account of exploration of the tragedy-mourning link in the rehearsal process of the great experimental theater director, Joseph Chaikin. Opening her first chapter, Dr. Cole says, "The grave is the birthplace of tragic drama and ghosts are its procreators. For tragedy is the performance of ambivalence which ghosts emblematize: what we fear in particular--the revenant, the ghost returning to haunt us--is also what we desire--the extending of life beyond the moment of death."

Hamlet by William Shakespeare Pdf

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts

The Contagious Power of Thinking by David Hamilton Pdf

Wouldn't it be great if instead of catching a nasty cold, we could catch our friend's good mood, or our colleague's healthy habits? You don't need to be on the Internet to be connected. We are all part of interconnected networks, whether we're aware of it or not. Everything you think, say and do can be felt by people on the other side of the world. The Contagious Power of Thinking provides astonishing scientific evidence to show how habits, attitudes, emotions and even kindness spread rapidly outwards from person to person through personal contact. Learn the fascinating facts behind: • how infants feel their mother's emotions • how more than 25% of your happiness is due to the happiness of your friends • how your brain reads the emotions of others and reproduces the feeling in you • and how your best friend's sister's hairdresser can make you fat! In this book, David Hamilton explores the amazing implications of this phenomenon and suggests that a small group of committed people really can change the world.
