ID: 809013343

McFarland, 2015. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This is an edited collection of work preseented at the 2014 Comparative Drama Conference. From 69 panels and plenary sessions, editor Herren has selected 12 research papers, 10 book reviews, an essay reviewing a presentation, and the transcript of an interview with playwright David Henry Hwang. The interview with Hwang was a highlight and drawing card of the conference. Among the pieces are a discussion of translating Martinique playwright Aimé Cesaire's rewrite of The Tempest from French into English; an argument that keye elements in Hamlet came from The Odyssey; cognitive science applied to Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan; an analysis of three plays on disasters; and a summary of the 50-year career of French director Ariane Mnouchkine. (2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), McFarland, 2015, Princeton University Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 176 pages. Dimensions: 8.4in. x 5.4in. x 0.5in.Here Stephen Tracy offers a vivid, fast-paced narrative that serves as a reading guide to Homers monumental epic. He not only provides translations of key passages and traces the evolution of major themes in the Odyssey, but also helps new readers to understand the artistry of one of the best tales ever told. Aimed at advanced readers as well, this book stresses an appreciation of how Homer has ordered his narrative, covering such topics as character interaction, family relationships, elements of poetic language, and the symbolic treatment of death, rebirth, growth, and knowledge. Given the controversy over the way the Odyssey was composed and handed down, Tracy concentrates on presenting the poem as a highly unified work. His analysis of the narrative structure reveals the epic to be arranged as a series of parallel journeys. The journey, seen here as a symbol of growth and self-knowledge, is among the major themes discussed in detail, along with the importance of women as overseers of lifes journeys and the need for the sons of heroes to grow up worthy of their fathers. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN., Princeton University Press
