Zombie in the Basement is the heartwarming tale of Alfie, an
adorable young zombie who lives with Andrew and his family. Their
special houseguest struggles to learn how to cope with being
different than everyone else while Andrew and his family help to
teach Alfie how to manage the situations that arise from his
condition. We're all different, and that's a good thing. Our
children should be taught to proudly march to the beat of their own
drum, and to embrace the individuality that exists in the world
around them. It's up to us to give them enough love and support to
find their own way without leading them by the hand and doing it
for them. In this first book of the Zombie in the Basement series,
Alfie, Andrew and their friends try to get the zombie's foot back
from the neighbor's dog Scooter. The job is made more difficult
when the neighbor, who doesn't like Alfie because he's different,
refuses to help. Will the boys ever get Alfie's foot back?
This is the most thoroughly investigated edition of "Volpone" to
date, based on a wider collation of the 1607 quarto and 1616 folio
versions than was previously possible. It calls into question
several accepted textual conclusions. The introduction sets
"Volpone" in the context of Jonson's career at the time of writing
and introduces new material on its relation to the Reynard beast
epic and the commedia dell' arte. Ambiguities in the play are
discussed with reference to two Renaissance perversions of the myth
of the Golden Age. Particular attention is paid to the rhythmic
effects of the play in performance, especially interweavings of the
main plot and subplot. Fresh suggestions are made about the play's
opening and its controversial conclusion in the light of
experiments that have been made in performance since "Volpone" 's
stage revival in 1921. The modernized text is accompanied by full
commentary, notes and illustrations. The appendices include a
discussion by John Cutts of the original music, passages translated
from the original sources and analogues, and a full record of the
play's modern stage history, its many adaptations, and its
transformations into opera, musical comedy, film and television.
This Revels Student Edition, with a carefully modernized text,
presents new material about "Volpone" 's debt to the popular
Reynard beast epic and Italian "commedia dell 'art" and discusses
its mockery of greed in relation to two Renaissance perversions of
the myth of a Golden Age. Referring to famous productions, it pays
particular attention to decisions that must be made whenever the
play is performed.
