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.
A collection of essays originally presented on the Blackfriars
stage at the American Shakesepeare Center, Shakespeare Expressed
brings together scholars and practitioners, often promoting ideas
that can be translated into classroom experiences. Drawing on
essays presented at the Sixth Blackfriars Conference, held in
October 2011, the essays focus on Shakespeare in performance by
including work from scholars, theatrical practitioners (actors,
directors, dramaturgs, designers), and teachers in a format that
facilitates conversations at the intersection of textual
scholarship, theatrical performance, and pedagogy. The volume's
thematic sections briefly represent some of the major issues
occupying scholars and practitioners: how to handle staging
choices, how modern actors embody early modern characters, how the
physical and technical aspects of early modern theaters previously
impacted and how they currently affect performance, and how the
play texts can continue to enlighten theatrical and scholarly
endeavors. A special essay on pedagogy that features specific
classroom exercises also anchors each section in the collection.
The result is an eclectic, stimulating, and forward-thinking look
at the most current trends in early modern theater studies.
Performing Pedagogy in Early Modern England: Gender, Instruction,
and Performance features essays questioning the extent to which
education, an activity pursued in the home, classroom, and the
church, led to, mirrored, and was perhaps even transformed by
moments of instruction on stage. This volume argues that along with
the popular press, the early modern stage is also a key pedagogical
site and that education"performed and performative"plays a central
role in gender construction. The wealth of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century printed and manuscript documents devoted to
education (parenting guides, conduct books, domestic manuals,
catechisms, diaries, and autobiographical writings) encourages
examination of how education contributed to the formation of
gendered and hierarchical structures, as well as the production,
reproduction, and performance of masculinity and femininity. In
examining both dramatic and non-dramatic texts via aspects of
performance theory, this collection explores the ways education
instilled formal academic knowledge, but also elucidates how
educational practices disciplined students as members of their
social realm, citizens of a nation, and representatives of their
gender.
Performing Maternity in Early Modern England features essays that
share a common concern with exploring maternity's cultural
representation, performative aspects and practical consequences in
the period from 1540-1690. The essays interrogate how early modern
texts depict fertility, conception, delivery and gendered
constructions of maternity by analyzing a wealth of historical
documents and images in conjunction with dramatic and non-dramatic
literary texts. They emphasize that the embodied, repeated and
public nature of maternity defines it as inherently performative
and ultimately central to the production of gender identity during
the early modern period.
