Abstract:

From the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, part of the British officer’s cultural attainment was his assistance in the provision of theatrical entertainment; however, it was not necessarily part of the attainment of enlisted men, many of whom, during the first part of the nineteenth century, could neither read nor write. For the enlisted men, private theatricals on a large scale began during the 1840s as a conscious attempt to “provide recreation and harmless amusement for the troops . . . so as to wean them away from the low beerhouses where they are encouraged to desert and commit oth

Abstract:

Staged Readings argues that a blending of popular literary and theatrical cultures deeply informed class formation in nineteenth-century America – especially the emergence of a white middle class. This excellent study draws on a wide range of archival materials and includes significant analyses of Quaker City, temperance dramas, The Octoroon, and parlour theatricals.

In their two-volume chronicle of the history and evolution of the theatre in Ontario from the early 1800s to the early 1970s, aptly titled Early Stages (volume 1) and Later Stages (volume 2), editors Ann Saddlemyer and Richard Plant have constructed a rich collection of essays that traces the development of theatre in the province, beginning with the early, mainly imported touring troupes which led to the advent of early indigenous theatricals produced by numerous amateur companies. These travelling companies explored the theatrical landscape of the period and led the way for the development o

Abstract:

The title of this article alludes to Jacques Lacan’s text ‘Kant avec Sade’ (1963). With that in mind, the author compares Michael Fried’s Art and Objecthood (1998[1967) to Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle, also published in 1967. Whereas Fried unleashes his criticism against ‘the condition of theatre’ and its mounting presence in the realm of visual culture, Debord accuses spectacle of ‘becoming a life style’, endorsed by power structures and fuelled by the media. Chances are that neither art nor objecthood, but rather the spectacle itself is ‘the chief product of present-day society’

Abstract:

This paper examines David Henry Hwang's drama, M. Butterfly, with view at highlighting the author's dexterity in employing metatheatricality and carcerality to insinuate his message represented in deconstructing gender identity. The play contains an embedded play, performed in a prison setting. Using Michel' Foucault's premises on the prison system, the paper shows how the theatre, just like the prison, functions as a "coercive" environment for learning and cognitive change. In their roles as actors (inmates) in the play (prison), the two major characters, Gallimard and Song, undergo a substan

Abstract:

Historically an exclusive, upper-class entertainment, private theatricals became a widespread, primarily middle-class pastime in the course of the nineteenth century. To the emerging bourgeoisie, play-acting represented an important way to negotiate class identity by emulating the habits of social elites. The foremost raw materials for private stagings of drama were the acting editions of plays published most prolifically in the second half of the century by T. H. Lacy and Samuel French, consecutively. This paper examines Lacy’s and French’s publication and marketing strategies by placing side

Rarely does Shakespeare assign the antagonists in his plays such dominant and pivotal roles as he does in Othello. Seldom, either, does a Shakespearean character exhibit such an obsession with playacting and theatricals as Iago does. The paper at hand explores the consequences of Shakespeare’s unusual decision to tip the traditional balance between protagonist and antagonist in favour of the latter in this great tragedy. The paper argues that Othello is more a play about the splendour of playacting and the charm of actors than it is about evil and evildoing. Arguably devised as suffering from

Abstract:

Abstract Beginning in the 1870s, the short-lived fad of “Authors’ Carnivals” swept through American cities. At each carnival, hundreds of locals costumed themselves as famous literary characters, performing amateur theatricals and tableaux vivants based on their favorite books. Unexpected character combinations frequently appeared on the same stage. Shakespeare’s Falstaff stood beside Dickens’s Little Nell; Longfellow’s Hiawatha rubbed shoulders with Old Mother Goose. For attendees, these events offered peculiar thrills. Similar to today’s fan conventions and cosplay events, participants engag

The appearance in popular prints of various characters and activities from the popular festive culture, scenes from popular theatricals, parodies of sundry rites and proceedings, and so forth attest to the fact that this culture of p

Abstract: To make sense of what Henry James called the “divine principle of the scenario” it may be best to think of ghosts. If in Theatricals James talks of “the ghostly experience” of reading the unperformed plays he put to print, it is also worth exploring the plays James further turned into tales. It could help to better understand the unlikely tales that compose The Two Magics , where “Covering End” (1898)—an adaptation of his light comedy, Summersoft (1895)—stands uneasily next to James’s most famous gothic tale, “The Turn of the Screw.” It may be that there are more ghosts to “Covering

Given the omnipresence of performers of all political stripes speaking for a variety of causes and candidates, it is difficult to remember a time when artist-activists were not an integral part of America's theatrical landscape.

The present article analyzes the bipolar perception of community in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park (1814) drawing on the communitarian model theorized by the French thinkers Jean-Luc Nancy (1983) and Maurice Blanchot (1983) with George Bataille as a third participant in absentia. Although Austen was obviously unaware of the postmodern theoretical implications stemming from the communal dimension of her novels, I argue that the institution of Mansfield Park functions as a self-enclosed and inbreeding community which is grounded on operative traits—birth, origin, filiation and generation—and which

One colony that conspicuously lacked such genteel pleasures was convict settlement in New South Wales.

Abstract:

Mansfield Park is the work of Jane Austen, a prominent 18th century female writer. In this novel, Austen depicts the city of London in an indirect way, thus expressing her concern for urban problems in the context of industrialization. Austen portrays two siblings from London, self-serving Crawfords, who neglect morality, and follow the philosophy of money, indirectly reflecting many of the city’s problems. In addition, the urban values gradually penetrate the country represented by Mansfield Park, and the characters in the novel are also affected, such as Maria eloping with Mr. Crawford and t
