The Children's Troupes and the Transformation of English Theater 1509-1608 - Jeanne Mccarthy - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Children's Troupes and the Transformation of English Theater 1509-1608 - Jeanne Mccarthy - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Children’s Troupes and the Transformation of English Theater 1509–1608 uncovers the role of the children’s companies in transforming perceptions of authorship and publishing, performance, playing spaces, patronage, actor training, and gender politics in the sixteenth century. Jeanne McCarthy challenges entrenched narratives about popular playing in an era of revolutionary changes, revealing the importance of the children’s company tradition’s connection with many early plays, as well as to the spread of literacy, classicism, and literate ideals of drama, plot, textual fidelity, characterization, and acting in a still largely oral popular culture. By addressing developments from the hyper-literate school tradition, and integrating discussion of the children’s troupes into the critical conversation around popular playing practices, McCarthy offers a nuanced account of the play-centered, literary performance tradition that came to define professional theater in this period. Highlighting the significant role of the children’s company tradition in sixteenth-century performance culture, this volume offers a bold new narrative of the emergence of the London theater.

Thomas Morley's Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke - Jessie Ann Owens - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Thomas Morley's Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke - Jessie Ann Owens - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Thomas Morley (1557/8-1602) has long been regarded as the most important English music theorist of the early modern period. His treatise, A Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke was published in a luxurious folio format in 1597 and a second edition appeared in 1608. The three parts of the treatise set forth elementary music (''teaching to sing'') and beginning and advanced counterpoint (''treating of descant'' and ''treating of composing or setting of songs''). The text, written in dialogue format, is enlivened by remarkable descriptions of music, musicians, musical performance and compositional practice. Jessie Ann Owens introduces the facsimile, explaining why the 1608 version has been chosen.

The Dividing Paths - Tom Hatley - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Dividing Paths - Tom Hatley - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book focuses on the American Cherokee people and the South Carolina settlers in the years 1608, when Charleston was established as the main town in the region, until 1785, when a treaty effectively removed the Cherokees from the region. It is concerned as much with the interaction between the two groups as the contrasts between them. The book contributes in major ways to understanding Indian-White relations in Colonial America.

British Social Life in India 1608 - 1937 - Dennis Kincaid - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

British Social Life in India 1608 - 1937 - Dennis Kincaid - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1938, the author describes the ways in which the British lived in India from the early adventurous period of the East India Company until the 1930s when modern means of travel and communication enabled the sahibs to keep in close touch with home and eschew oriental influences. He describes their amusements and sports, their domestic arrangements, their relations with the native population. There is a delicious period panorama of Simla in the eighties. He gives a careful historical account of the growth and fate of the Eurasian population. The approach throughout is decorative rather than academic, and leads to a highly entertaining pageant of the British in India.

Naturalist on the Nanticoke - Robert A. Hedeen - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Naturalist on the Nanticoke - Robert A. Hedeen - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Since its discovery by Captain John Smith in 1608, the Nanticoke has never been particularly hospitable to the outsider. Flowing thirty-six miles from its source above Seaford, Delaware, to the Chesapeake Bay below Salisbury on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, it is surrounded by mosquito-ridden and low-lying marshland. Hedeen concentrates on the natural history and ecology of the river area, but especially on those aspects that have given rise to fascinating stories and legends.
