La sommation de Tout Homme (The Summoning of Everyman) (c. 1495)
On convient aujourd'hui que dans le corpus dramatique anglais, le texte de l'une des premières moral plays, intitulé La Sommation de Tout Homme (The Summoning of Everyman), est la traduction, faite aux premières années du XVIe siècle par une plume aujourd'hui anonyme, de la pièce flamande Den Spyeghel der Salicheyt Van Elckerlijc, vraisemblablement écrite pour les milieux rhétoriciens et publiée à Delft vers 1496. Ce texte répond très précisément à la double nature qu'en donne l'introduction : un exposé théologique et une pièce de théâtre. Ce que la pièce dit du héros (homme jeune, apparemment lié aux milieux mercantiles et peu soucieux jusque-là du salut de son âme)...
Tudor Theatre
Primarily meant to host studies about the drama of the English - and European - Renaissance, as well as the culture in which it is rooted, the «THETA» series aims to be a forum for exchange and debate. The articles in this volume, which derive from the Seventh Round Table on Tudor Drama held at Tours in 1997, develop theoretical as well as historical ideas in the context of dramatic allegory. Through consideration of problems of staging, they also highlight the dramatic possibilities and effects that performance elicits from the use of such highly popular allegorical devices. The contributions are arranged in roughly chronological order of the plays treated. They emphasize the durability a...
Tudor Theatre
Consacrée à la publication d'études sur le théâtre de la Renaissance européenne - et d'abord anglaise - et sur la culture qui le nourrit, la collection «THETA» se veut lieu de rencontre et de débat, accueillant sans exclusive toutes les approches. Les onze essais de ce troisième volume consacré à l'émotion au théâtre cherchent dans le texte dramatique et ses prolongements spectaculaires les sources et modalités de l'impact thymique que le critique est en droit de présumer chez le spectateur des pièces étudiées. Même lorsque demeure posé l'épineux problème des interactions entre texte dramatique et texte spectaculaire, ils proposent des lumières originales sur thèmes...
Spectacle & Image in Renaissance Europe
This collection of nineteen essays focuses on the ways in which, in England, France and Spain, the Renaissance made propagandistic, or aesthetic, use of the image in various spectacles. Under surface differences between genres, what emerges is a surprising similarity in tactics and response, which invites further questioning about image elaboration and its reception.
Drama, Performance and Debate
Early modern theatre was a visual matter, even though the authors wrote plays which were mainly meant to be read. But whether they wrote their plays to have them performed or not, authors could use comedies, tragi-comedies or tragedies to influence public opinion, to make a statement in a debate, or to convey explicit or implicit lessons that they carried out or had carried out by linguistic, rhetorical and theatrical means. How explicit they were in expressing their views depended on the characters of the authors or the circumstances in which they wrote. Questions regarding the opinion-forming and opinion-following functions of theatre, the means by which authors and theatre makers expressed their ideas, and the role of theatre and plays in public debate are discussed from various angles. Such questions refer not only to ‘literary’ plays, but also to other forms of theatrical event, such as royal entrances. Contributors include: Imre Bésanger, Hartmut Beyer, Stijn Bussels, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Verena Demoed, Arjan van Dixhoorn, Ron Gruijters, Jelle Koopmans, Frans-Willem Korsten, Katell Lavéant, Hubert Meeus, Marco Prandoni, and Helmar Schramm.
