Home on the Stage - Nicholas Grene - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Home on the Stage - Nicholas Grene - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

As a serious drama set in an ordinary middle-class home, Ibsen''s A Doll''s House established a new politics of the interior that was to have a lasting impact upon twentieth-century drama. In this innovative study, Nicholas Grene traces the changing forms of the home on the stage through nine of the greatest of modern plays and playwrights. From Chekhov''s The Cherry Orchard through to Williams'' A Streetcar Named Desire, domestic spaces and personal crises have been employed to express wider social conditions and themes of class, gender and family. In the later twentieth century and beyond, the most radically experimental dramatists created their own challenging theatrical interiors, including Beckett in Endgame, Pinter in The Homecoming and Parks in Topdog/Underdog. Grene analyses the full significance of these versions of domestic spaces to offer fresh insights into the portrayal of the naturalistic environment in modern drama.

Irish Theatre in the Twenty-First Century - Nicholas Grene - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Irish Theatre in the Twenty-First Century - Nicholas Grene - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Irish Theatre in the Twenty-First Century is the first in-depth study of the subject. It analyses the ways in which theatre in Ireland has developed since the 1990s when emerging playwrights Martin McDonagh, Conor McPherson, and Enda Walsh turned against the tradition of lyrical eloquence with a harsh and broken dramatic language. Companies such as Blue Raincoat, the Corn Exchange, and Pan Pan pioneered an avant-garde dramaturgy that no longer privileged the playwright. This led to new styles of production of classic Irish works, including the plays of Synge, mounted in their entirety by Druid. The changed environment led to a re-imagining of past Irish history in the work of Rough Magic and ANU, plays by Owen McCafferty, Stacey Gregg, and David Ireland, dramatizing the legacy of the Troubles, and adaptations of Greek tragedy by Marina Carr and others reflecting the conditions of modern Ireland. From 2015, the movement #WakingTheFeminists led to a sharpened awareness of gender. While male playwrights showed a toxic masculinity on the stage, a generation of female dramatists including Carr, Gregg, and Nancy Harris gave voice to the experiences of women long suppressed in conservative Ireland. For three separate periods, 2006, 2016, 2020-2, the author served as one of the judges for the Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards, attending all new productions across the island of Ireland. This allowed him to provide the detailed overview of the ''state of play'' of Irish theatre in each of those times which punctuate the book as one of its most innovative features. Drawing also on interviews with Ireland''s leading theatre makers, Grene provides readers with a close-up understanding of Irish theatre in a period when Ireland became for the first time a fully modernized, secular, and multi-ethnic society.

The Complete Greek Tragedies, Volume 3 - Euripides - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Greek Tragedies, Volume 3 - Euripides - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

The Grene and Lattimore edition of the Greek tragedies has been among the most widely acclaimed and successful publications of the University of Chicago Press. On the occasion of the Centennial of the University of Chicago and its Press, we take pleasure in reissuing this complete work in a handsome four-volume slipcased edition as well as in redesigned versions of the familiar paperbacks. For the Centennial Edition two of the original translations have been replaced. In the original publication David Grene translated only one of the three Theban plays, Oedipus the King. Now he has added his own translations of the remaining two, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone, thus bringing a new unity of tone and style to this group. Grene has also revised his earlier translation of Prometheus Bound and rendered some of the former prose sections in verse. These new translations replace the originals included in the paperback volumes Sophocles I (which contains all three Theban plays), Aeschylus II, Greek Tragedies, Volume I, and Greek Tragedies, Volume III, all of which are now being published in second editions. All other volumes contain the translations of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides for the most part from the original versions first published in the 1940s and 1950s. These translations have been the choice of generations of teachers and students, selling in the past forty years over three million copies.

The Sound of Indo-European - Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead - Bog - Museum Tusculanum - Plusbog.dk

The Sound of Indo-European - Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead - Bog - Museum Tusculanum - Plusbog.dk

The Sound of Indo-European indeholder bidrag, der omhandler en bred vifte af emner inden for indoeuropæisk fonologi i bredeste forstand – fra minutiøs fonetik til abstrakt fonemik og morfofonemik. Artiklerne relaterer til alle aspekter af indoeuropæisk, både protosproget, dets forstadier og sprogenes udvikling helt frem til nutiden. Eksperter fra ikke mindre end 13 lande over hele verden har forfattet bogens 29 kapitler, hvoraf mange behandler sprogforandring inden for individuelle grene af de indoeuropæiske sprog. Der er således dybdegående sektioner om både de keltiske og de anatoliske sprog – to områder inden for indoeuropæistikken der til stadighed står for markante nyfund – men også om germansk, indoiransk, italisk, armensk og endda eufratisk og fjernere sammenhæng mellem indoeuropæisk og andre sprogfamilier.Denne gennemgang viser, qua især den vægt der lægges på lydanalyse, at den gamle brugmannske tilgang til genetisk sprogvidenskab og denne type undersøgelser kan lykkes og give legitime resultater. Bogen repræsenterer herved også den realisme og jordbundenhed københavnerskolen af indoeuropæistik er blevet velkendt for at hige efter inden for sprogrekonstruktion.
