Edwin Forrest
Author: Arthur W. BloomPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476635927
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Edwin Forrest was the foremost American actor of the nineteenth century. His advocacy of American, and specifically Jacksonian, themes made him popular in New York's Bowery Theatre. His rivalry with the English tragedian William Charles Macready led to the Astor Place Riot, and his divorce from Catharine Sinclair Forrest was one of the greatest social scandals of the period. This full-length biography examines Forrest's personal life while acknowledging the impossibility of separating it from his public image. Included is a historical chronology of every known performance the actor gave.
The Performance of Power
Author: Sue-Ellen CasePublisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1587290340
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Recently in the field of theatre studies there has been an increasing amount of debate and dissonance regarding the borders of its territory, its methodologies, subject matter, and scholarly perspectives. The nature of this debate could be termed "political" and, in fact, concerns "the performance of power"—the struggle over power relations embedded in texts, methodologies, and the academy itself. This striking new collection of nineteen divergent essays represents this performance of power and the way in which the recent convergence of new critical theories with historical studies has politicized the study of the theatre. Neither play text, performance, nor scholarship and teaching can safely reside any longer in the "free," politically neutral, self-signifying realm of the aesthetic. Politicizing theatrical discourse means that both the hermeneutics and the histories of theatre reveal the role of ideology and power dynamics. New strategies and concepts—and a vital new phase of awareness—appear in these illuminating essays. A variety of historical periods, from the Renaissance through the Victorian and up to the most contemporary work of the Wooster group, illustrate the ways in which contemporary strategies do not require contemporary texts and performances but can combine with historical methods and subjects to produce new theatrical discourse.

ISBN:
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Jeffrey Mason investigates the reasons for their popular success and reconstructs the social and political backdrop against which they were viewed. He shows how they functioned in the social discourse of the time as collective affirmations of certain cultural myths. Yet these acts of communal belief were played out on the contested stage of American ideological debate.
