Excerpt from The Afterpiece to the Comedy of Convocation As some who may read these pages may not have seen the Comedy it may not be superfluous to state that it is the work of some Reverend, or Irreverend, member of the Roman Communion, that it has for motto, from St. Gregory Nazianzen, "Give me leave to be merry on a merry subject," that it is dedicated to "The Bishops of the Pan-Anglican Synod," and that in it are represented Very Reverend Deans, Venerable Archdeacons, and Reverend Doctors and Proctors, of the Church of England, in Convocation assembled, gravely debating the question whether, in that Church, it is heresy to deny the existence of a God, and as gravely coming to the conclusion that it is not; and afterwards, in private conference, trying to turn the claims of their own Church, as compared with that of Rome, into ridicule. There is nothing, perhaps, very extraordinary in all this, considering the source from which it comes. But that a journal of the standing of the (New York) Nation should endorse not only the "wit" and "humor" of the work, but "its logical conclusiveness," is extraordinary. If the Nation were as well informed on the merits of the controversy between the two Communions as it is on matters of literary criticism, it would not need to be told that while one half of the "logic" of the Comedy does not rise to the dignity of sophistry, the other half draws its conclusions from false premises.

Musical Theatre: A History is a new revised edition of a proven core text for college and secondary school students – and an insightful and accessible celebration of twenty-five centuries of great theatrical entertainment. As an educator with extensive experience in professional theatre production, author John Kenrick approaches the subject with a unique appreciation of musicals as both an art form and a business. Using anecdotes, biographical profiles, clear definitions, sample scenes and select illustrations, Kenrick focuses on landmark musicals, and on the extraordinary talents and business innovators who have helped musical theatre evolve from its roots in the dramas of ancient Athens all the way to the latest hits on Broadway and London's West End. Key improvements to the second edition: · A new foreword by Oscar Hammerstein III, a critically acclaimed historian and member of a family with deep ties to the musical theatre, is included · The 28 chapters are reformatted for the typical 14 week, 28 session academic course, as well as for a two semester, once-weekly format, making it easy for educators to plan a syllabus and reading assignments. · To make the book more interactive, each chapter includes suggested listening and reading lists, designed to help readers step beyond the printed page to experience great musicals and performers for themselves. A comprehensive guide to musical theatre as an international phenomenon, Musical Theatre: A History is an ideal textbook for university and secondary school students.

"These essays are a valuable criticism of life by a man who had a wide experience of life, a man of the world, who possessed an almost inspired faculty of observation. Schopenhauer, of all men, unmistakably observed life at first hand. There is no academic echo in his utterances; he is not one of a school; his voice has no formal intonation; it is deep, full-chested, and rings out its words with all the poignancy of individual emphasis, without bluster, but with unfailing conviction. He was for his time, and for his country, an adept at literary form; but he used it only as a means. "
