Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Starting from the early modern presumption of the incorporation of
role with authority, Jean Lambert explores male teachers as
representing and engaging with types of authority in English plays
and dramatic entertainments by Shakespeare and his contemporaries
from the late sixteenth to the early seventeenth century. This book
examines these theatricalized portraits in terms of how they
inflect aspects of humanist educational culture and analyzes those
ideas and practices of humanist pedagogy that carry implications
for the traditional foundations of authority. Teachers in Early
Modern English Drama is a fascinating study through two centuries
of teaching Shakespeare and his contemporaries and will be a
valuable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars
interested in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century drama, writing,
and culture.

Music in Arabia extends and challenges existing narratives of the
region's distinctive but understudied music to reveal diverse and
dynamic music cultures rooted in centuries-old heritage.
Contributors to Music in Arabia bring a critical eye and ear to the
contemporary soundscape, musical life, and expressive culture in
the Gulf region. Including work by leading scholars and local
authorities, this collection presents fresh perspectives and new
research addressing why musical expression is fundamental to the
area's diverse, transnational communities. The volume also examines
music circulation as a commodity, such as with the production of
early recordings, the transnational music industry, the context of
the Arab Spring, and the region's popular music markets. As a
bonus, readers can access a linked website containing audiovisual
examples of the music, dance, and expressive culture introduced
throughout the book. With the work of resident scholars and
heritage practitioners in conversation with that of researchers
from the United States and Europe, Music in Arabia offers both
context and content to clarify how music articulates identity and
nation among multiethnic, multiracial, and multinational
populations.
