Revisiting Shakespeare’s Lost Play: Cardenio/Double Falsehood in the Eighteenth Century de Deborah C. Payne

Revisiting Shakespeare’s Lost Play: Cardenio/Double Falsehood in the Eighteenth Century

Editat de Deborah C. Payne
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 feb 2017
This collection of essays centres on Double Falsehood, Lewis Theobald’s 1727 adaptation of the “lost” play of Cardenio, possibly co-authored by John Fletcher and William Shakespeare. In a departure from most scholarship to date, the contributors fold Double Falsehood back into the milieu for which it was created rather than searching for traces of Shakespeare in the text. Robert D. Hume’s knowledge of theatre history permits a fresh take on the forgery question as well as the Shakespeare authorship controversy. Diana Solomon’s understanding of eighteenth-century rape culture and Jean I. Marsden’s command of contemporary adaptation practices both emphasise the play’s immediate social and theatrical contexts. And, finally, Deborah C. Payne’s familiarity with the eighteenth-century stage allows for a reconsideration of Double Falsehood as integral to a debate between Theobald, Alexander Pope, and John Gay over the future of the English drama.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

'This uniformly excellent collection does what none of the other recent scholarship on Double Falsehood or Cardenio does: it approaches the complex problems of authorship, performance, form and gender politics from the perspective of Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre. Anyone seriously interested in the Jacobean play, its Georgian adaptation, or in English drama from 1660 to 1740 should read this book.' - Gary Taylor, General Editor, The New Oxford Shakespeare

Caracteristici

Moves away from traditional readings of the play, which have nearly all been in the context of its contested 'lost play' status, and reads it in the context of the eighteenth century By emphasizing the immediate context, it demonstrates how the play engaged contemporary literary and theatrical issues, such as rape culture and audience response Examines how formal patterns, such as the tragicomic plot, speak to eighteenth-century culture
