Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 2003 Fairleigh Dickinson University Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Volume 15 offers articles devoted to the historical contexts for drama in sixteenth-century England. One of these is a substantial discussion of prostitution in Elizabethan London, based on archival research. Another piece is focused on the efforts of the Chamberlain's Men to satisfy the tastes of their audiences for political and other topical issues of the day. The volume also contains essays on genre and rhetoric in early modern plays, and on the convention for representing character types on the Renaissance stage (with special reference to the figures of the crone and of the city wife). Further essays concentrate on dramatic authorship, and the publication and printing of plays, and on the connections between Mankind and the fifteenth-century controversy over preaching. The final article is given over to the texts and contexts of newly discovered songs by Aurelian Townshend, intended for an unrecorded 1630s masque by the Merchant Adventurers. An international board of leading scholars and cultural historians maintains the quality of each annual volume so Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England can be relied on as a useful guide and source for all students of the drama of this period - for directors, teachers, and actors as well as for specialists in college and university study. Readers who wish to deepen their understanding of this drama will find in each volume wide-ranging discussions of topics such as music, politics, philosophy, painting, and the questions of material culture, as these matters apply to the interpretation of drama as cultural production before 1642.
