The Cambridge History of British Theatre Volume 1: Origins to 1660 Edited by Jane Milling University of Exeter

and Peter Thomson University of Exeter

The Cambridge History of British Theatre

Volume One of The Cambridge History of British Theatre begins in Roman Britain and ends with Charles II’s restoration to the throne imminent. The four essays in Part One treat pre-Elizabethan theatre, the eight in Part Two focus on the riches of the Elizabethan era, and the seven in Part Three on theatrical developments during and after the reigns of James I and Charles I. The essays are written for the general reader by leading British and American scholars, who combine an interest in the written drama with an understanding of the material conditions of the evolving professional theatre which the drama helped to sustain, often enough against formidable odds.

The volume unfolds a story of enterprise, innovation and, sometimes, of desperate survival over years in which theatre and drama were necessarily embroiled in the politics of everyday life: a vivid subject vividly presented.

The Cambridge History of British Theatre Volume 3: Since 1895 Edited by Baz Kershaw University of Bristol

This volume explores the rich and complex histories of English, Scottish and Welsh theatres in the ‘long’ twentieth century since 1895. Twentythree original essays by leading historians and critics investigate the major aspects of theatrical performance, ranging from the great actor-managers to humble seaside entertainers, from between-wars West End women

British theatre / European theatre playwrights to the roots of professional theatre in Wales and Scotland, and from the challenges of alternative theatres to the economics of theatre under Thatcher. Detailed surveys of key theatre practices and traditions across this whole period are combined with case studies of influential productions, critical years placed in historical perspective and evaluations of theatre at the turn of the millennium. The collection presents an exciting evolution in the scholarly study of modern British theatre history, skilfully demonstrating how performance variously became a critical litmus test of the great aesthetic, cultural, social, political and economic upheavals in the age of extremes.

Tennessee Williams and the Theatre of Excess The Strange, the Crazed, the Queer Annette J. Saddik City University of New York

Saddik explores Williams’ later plays (1961–82) in the context of what she terms a ‘theatre of excess’, which seeks liberation through exaggeration, chaos, ambiguity, and laughter. Grounding the plays in the carnivalesque, the grotesque, and psychoanalytic, feminist, and queer theory, Saddik analyzes recent productions that successfully captured the playwright’s late aesthetic.

‘Annette J. Saddik’s lucid and vital assessment of the misunderstood, mysterious later plays of Tennessee Williams opens the door for a new generation of appreciation for the entire body of his work.

Sophocles: Ajax Sophocles Edited by P. J. Finglass University of Nottingham

Sophocles’ Ajax describes the fall of a mighty warrior denied the honour which he believed was his due. This edition of the play presents a text and critical apparatus which take full advantage of advances in our understanding of Sophoclean manuscripts and scholarship.

The introduction and commentary scrutinise all important aspects of the drama – from detailed analysis of style, language, and metre to consideration of wider issues such as ethics, rhetoric, and characterisation. Notorious dramaturgical problems, including the staging of Ajax’s suicide, receive particular attention; so too do questions of literary history, such as the date of the play and Sophocles’ creative interaction with previous accounts of the myth.

The translation which accompanies the commentary ensures that this edition will be accessible to Hellenists of all levels of experience, as well as to readers with a general interest in the history of drama.

‘This is a wonderful resource for the study of Ajax, and its author [is] clearly a force to be reckoned with

Shakespeare and the Idea of Apocrypha Negotiating the Boundaries of the Dramatic Canon Peter Kirwan University of Nottingham

This book explores how, and on what grounds, plays have been excluded from the Shakespeare canon over the past four centuries. Combining approaches from varying fields of interest, it will appeal to researchers and graduate students in Shakespeare studies, early modern drama, theatre history, book history and attribution studies.

Advance praise: ‘In this smart and timely book, Kirwan returns Shakespeare’s apocryphal plays to their original habitat, namely, the repertory of a commercial playing company; thus relocated, the plays may be appraised as they were in their own time: on market value, not authorship.’

Roslyn L. Knutson, University of Arkansas

The first book-length study examining how the Shakespearean theatre shaped attitudes about primogeniture, one of England’s most important and longstanding socio-economic systems.

enthusiasts of Shakespeare, literary criticism and creative writing.

Elizabeth Eger, King’s College London

‘Graham Holderness, who was given Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare as a child, here returns the compliment by writing tales for grown ups – and again shows that he is one of the few academics who can combine scholarship with creativity, criticism with fantasy, historical awareness with commitment to present-day issues. Anyone who thought that there was nothing further to say about the authenticity of the account of shipboard performances of two Shakespeare plays off the coast of Sierra Leone in 1607, or the likelihood of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson collaborating on the King James Bible, will be surprised at what Holderness does with the two controversies.’

Considering three well-known recent performances of Shakespeare at length, Worthen suggests how they provide a commentary on important areas of concern in the humanities, and what Shakespeare performance tells us about contemporary Shakespeare. This book is of interest to scholars and advanced students of Shakespeare, and of performance studies.

‘In a dazzling survey of cuttingedge contemporary Shakespeare performances, W. B. Worthen calls for a full embrace of the often provocative ‘noise’ of modern Shakespearean performance, and does so with great erudition, analytical incisiveness, and sheer delight.’

Romanticism in the Shadow of War radically reconsiders the conventional understanding of Byron, the Shelleys, and Keats, as well as lesser-known writers, by showing how their work developed not only from Romantic writers of the 1790s, but also in response to the cultural innovations of the Napoleonic War years.

‘Couched in lucid prose that eschews academese without detracting from the scholasticism of Cox’s undertaking, this book wholly encompasses the richness of the era and its literary culture.’

For over twenty years the Cambridge Opera Journal has been the pre-eminent forum for scholarship on opera in all its manifestations. The Journal publishes essays not only on all aspects of the European operatic tradition, but also on American opera and musical theatre, on non-Western music theatres, on contemporary opera production, and on the theory and historiography of opera. Carefully researched and often illustrated with music examples and pictures, articles adopt a wide spectrum of critical approaches. As well as major articles, each issue includes reviews of recent important publications in the field.
