Book Description
"The Faithful Shepherdess" by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont is a pastoral tragicomedy that unfolds in the idyllic setting of Arcadia, where themes of love, fidelity, and purity are explored against a backdrop of nature and innocence. At the heart of the play is the character of Clorin, the faithful shepherdess of the title, who is devoted to her lover, Strephon. However, her commitment is tested when Strephon's affections stray towards the wanton nymph, Amarillis. Clorin's unwavering devotion and purity contrast with Amarillis's seductive nature, highlighting the struggle between virtue and temptation. As the plot unfolds, the pastoral landscape becomes a stage for a series of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and moral dilemmas. Alongside Clorin and Strephon's story, we encounter a host of other characters, each grappling with their own desires and conflicts.

Interruptions in Early Modern English Drama
Author: Michael M. Wagoner
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350238333
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
To interrupt, both on stage and off, is to wrest power. From the Ghost's appearance in Hamlet to Celia's frightful speech in Volpone, interruptions are an overlooked linguistic and dramatic form that delineates the balance of power within a scene. This book analyses interruptions as a specific form in dramatic literature, arguing that these everyday occurrences, when transformed into aesthetic phenomena, reveal illuminating connections: between characters, between actor and audience, and between text and reader. Focusing on the works of William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and John Fletcher, Michael M. Wagoner examines interruptions that occur through the use of punctuation and stage directions, as well as through larger forms, such as conventions and dramaturgy. He demonstrates how studying interruptions may indicate aspects of authorial style – emphasizing a playwright's use and control of a text – and how exploring relative power dynamics pushes readers and audiences to reconsider key plays and characters, providing new considerations of the relationships between Othello and Iago, or Macbeth and the Ghost of Banquo.
