A Short History of English Renaissance Drama pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Shakespeare is a towering presence in English and indeed global culture. Yet considered alongside his contemporaries he was not an isolated phenomenon, but the product of a period of astonishing creative fertility. This was an age when new media - popular drama and print - were seized upon avidly and inventively by a generation of exceptionally talented writers. In her sparkling new book, Helen Hackett explores the historical contexts of English Renaissance drama by situating it in the wider history of ideas. She traces the origins of Renaissance theatre in communal religious drama, civic pageantry and court entertainment and vividly describes the playing conditions of Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses. Examining Marlowe, Shakespeare and Jonson in turn, the author assesses the distinctive contribution made by each playwright to the creation of English drama. She then turns to revenge tragedy, with its gothic poetry of sex and death; city comedy, domestic tragedy and tragicomedy; and gender and drama, with female roles played by boy actors in commercial playhouses while women participated in drama at court and elsewhere. The book places Renaissance drama in the exciting and vibrant cosmopolitanism of sixteenth-century London.
Helen Hackett is a Professor of English at UCL, where she runs the Shakespeare course. Her publications include A Short History of English Renaissance Drama (2012), Shakespeare and Elizabeth: The Meeting of Two Myths (2009), and the introduction to the Penguin edition of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2005). She enjoys setting Shakespeare’s works in the historical contexts of their time, and also investigating how Shakespeare’s cultural meaning has developed over the centuries up to the present. She also has a particular interest in Renaissance literature by and about women, as explored in her books Virgin Mother, Maiden Queen: Elizabeth I and the Cult of the Virgin Mary (1995) and Women and Romance Fiction in the English Renaissance (2000). Helen is co-director of the UCL Centre for Early Modern Exchanges: this fosters research into all kinds of intercultural exchange in the period 1450-1800, including travel, trade, translation, and the circulation of ideas.

著名历史作家盐野七生曾说道:“我一直相信,神灵栖息于琐碎之中。所以迄今为止,哪怕是一次,我也拒绝撰写所谓‘一册书通晓世界史’、‘简明西方史’之类的书籍。因为我认为要描绘出历史这样一个复杂的人类世界,快速地总结是不可能逼近历史真相的。而且,最最重要的是,简单...
評分文艺复兴是发生在14世纪到16世纪的一场反映新兴资产阶级要求的欧洲思想文化运动。最先在意大利各城市兴起,之后扩展到西欧各国,在16世纪达到顶峰,揭开了近代欧洲历史的序幕,被认为是中古时代和近代的分界。 14世纪城市经济繁荣的意大利,最先出现了对天主教文化的反抗。当时...
評分自公元476年西罗马帝国灭亡之后,欧洲中世纪的大幕就此拉开。在这个时期,欧洲大陆特别是西欧没有一个强有力的政权能够占据主导地位,统一相对短暂,而封建割据带来的则是频繁的战争。但最为显著的一个特征是,天主教对人民思想的禁锢,造成科技和生产力发展停滞,所以中世纪这...
