This book assembles a cast of sixteen distinguished theater historians and performance critics, each of whom has contributed significantly to our understanding of issues associated with performing works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Their essays, all appearing in print for the first time, are presented in two groupings: a theater history and practice section, in which contributors examine matters related to performance in Shakespeare's time and our own, and a performance criticism section, in which contributors treat modern productions on stage and screen. In the theater history and practice section, Roslyn L. Kutson explores the 1599-1600 repertory of the Admiral's Men and the Chamberlain's Men, who performed in rival playhouses. Jay L. Halio studies playbooks to see how successive generations of actor, managers and directors modified the Shakespearean 'original' and how productions reflected such change. Alan C. Dessen investigates how scripted allusion and stage direction figure into patterns of production in the plays of Thomas Heywood. Focusing on evidence in 'A Warning for Fair Women', Andrew Gurr probes a playhouse practice of hanging the stage with black fabric to signal that the play was a tragedy. And Maurice Charney, engaging modern translations, delivers readers into the world of Shakespeare bardolatry. Variety defines the second section, which offers analyses of plays mediated by performance. Several essays focus on interpretive acts brought to particular scripts--Timon of Athens, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night;s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, Philip Massinger's The Roman Actor--while others examine stage and screen adaptations and offshoots, such as LInda Mussmann's M.A.C.B.E.T.H, Rome Neal's Julius Ceasar Set in Africa, Gil Juner's film 10 Things I Hate About You, and Tim Blake Nelson's movie O. Contributors to this section include John Timpane, Frances K. Barasch, Charles A. Hallett, Edward L. Rocklin, Michael D

Over the past years, studies have begun not only to identify the factors that impeded the full participation of women artists in French cultural life, such as women’s limited access to professional art education, but also to bring to light the considerable artistic accomplishments of women occluded by historians for over a century. A similar effort at historical revision has been under way for French women writers. Works of fiction that enjoyed many editions in the nineteenth-century receded from our field of vision for almost a century before being rediscovered and reissued during the last decades of the twentieth century. Such efforts have resulted in scholarship that has helped revise the history of both artistic and literary expression in nineteenth-century France. Similarly, many women in nineteenth-century France had their art criticism published both in journal reviews and in book form, often for decades, in a number of the most influential venues of their day. However, it is perplexing that they remain almost totally invisible in histories of French culture. Women Art Critics in Nineteenth-Century France: Vanishing Acts is the first sustained effort to bring these prolific and influential critics out from the shadows. Although each of the chapters in this volume results from an interdisciplinary approach, the fact that they are written by scholars in art history and in literature means that there will be inevitable differences in approach and methodology. Thus, we study the women’s reception of specific artworks and aesthetic movements, discuss intersections of aesthetics and politics in their essays and the literary styles and rhetorical strategies of individual critics, explore the social conditions that allowed or impeded their successes, and suggest reasons for their all but disappearance in the twentieth century. In bringing to light for twenty-first-century readers the “vanished” writings of heretofore unrecognized or underrecognized women art critics, the authors hope to contribute to the ongoing revision of women’s role in cultural history. The multifaceted approaches to word/image studies modeled in this book, and the many avenues for further research it identifies, will inspire scholars in a number of disciplines to continue the work of reinscribing women in the history of cultural life.

Description: Some years ago the world of New Testament scholarship was startled by the conversion of Adolf von Harnack to the traditional view of the authorship of Luke-Acts. The book of Acts, Harnack concluded, was actually written by Luke, a companion of Paul. And what is more, it was written at about A.D. 60, or a little later, near the point of time where the narrative breaks off. Thus with regard to the date of the book the leading representative of modern "liberalism" had become more conservative than most of the "conservatives" themselves. Well might students of the New Testament ask, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" Perhaps the most distinctive contribution of Harnack to the argument for the Lucan authorship of Acts was his establishment of the linguistic and stylistic unity of the book. The "we-sections"--the sections where the first person plural appears--are generally admitted to have been written by a companion of Paul. But as Harnack showed with especial clearness the we-sections are strikingly similar in language and style to the rest of the book. If, therefore, the book as a whole was written or compiled by an author different from the author of the we-sections, this author of the whole must at least have revised the we-section source which he was using, so as to impress upon it his own style. But if so, why did he not change the "we" to "they"? As coming from the pen of a later writer, who as everyone knew could not have been an eye-witness of the missionary journeys of Paul, the "we" was rank nonsense. It could only have been retained if the final author was a mere compiler, copying out his sources mechanically. But that the final author was not a mere compiler is proved by the literary unity of the book. If, therefore, the final author was in the we-sections using a source written by some one else, he has revised everything in his source except the one thing, the "we", which most imperatively required revision.

Hidden Criticism of the Angry Tyrant in Early Judaism and the Acts of the Apostles adds to the current literature of imperial-critical New Testament readings with an examination of Luke’s hidden criticism of imperial Rome in the Acts of the Apostles and in Paul’s speech on the Areopagus in Acts 17. Focusing on discursive resistance in the Hellenistic world, Drew J. Strait examines the relationship between hidden criticism and persuasion and between subordinates and the powerful, and he explores the challenge to the dissident voice to communicate criticism while under surveillance. Strait argues that Luke confronts the idolatrous power and iconic spectacle of gods and kings with the Gospel of the Lord of all—a worldview that is incompatible with the religions of Rome, including emperor worship.
