Softcover/Paperback. Condizione: New. Author: Saggini, Francesca Brand: Routledge Edition: 1 Number Of Pages: 312 Release Date: 12-12-2019 Details: Product Description In this ground-breaking study Francesca Saggini explores the relationship between the late eighteenth-century novel and the theatre, arguing that the implicit theatricality of the Gothic novel made it an obvious source from which dramatists could take ideas. Similarly, elements of the theatre provided inspiration to novelists. Saggini opens her study with a very useful and persuasive overview of the themes and forms of Gothic drama. In her view, stage appropriation is the textual threshold in which novelistic and dramatic/ performative texts overlap on and disseminate through each other. She examines in details the use of three specific aspects of Gothic dramatic language as recorded by both novel and drama: music, lighting, and scene design. The following chapters, informed by semiotic and narrative theory, closely examine the stage appropriations respectively in and of the Gothic novel, particularly, though not exclusively, the representation of the supernatural in Ann Radcliffe and Matthew G. Lewis. Boaden?s successful Gothic drama Fontainville Forest challenges a central aspect of Radcliffe?s poetics: her reliance on the so-called explained supernatural and puts it context by looking at contemporary stage presentations of the supernatural as offered for instance in Hamlet. The final part of the study frames Lewis?s representation of the supernatural in The Monk within the contemporary mechanics of staging and discusses the novel in relation to contemporary stage presentation and in the context of Romantic harlequinades and spectacular visual exhibits. Saggini makes a convincing argument for a transmedial and highly cooperative reading of Gothic texts and spectacles. Her approach does not seek to displace the novel or ?the text? from modern perceptions of the Gothic, but wants to open the genre to plural and anti-hierarchical forms of reading and to recognise its resourcefulness in appropriating theatrical t Review Shortlisted for The Society for the Study of English Book Awards 2016, Literatures in the English Language, Category A 'Saggini's articulation is clear, and her reasoning is innovative and complex? Saggini has researched her topic deeply, and the resulting book represents a thoughtful analysis of the practices and negotiations activated by the Gothic stage.' - Emily Hodgson Anderson, University of Southern California, Review 19 'By guiding the reader through the history and development of Gothic drama in the early sections of the book, Saggini effectively sets the scene of the genre?s background, before convincingly putting forward her argument that through a cultural network of stage theatricals and novel-writing, Gothic dramas inspired Gothic novelists.? - Sarah A.

Brossura. Condizione: new. Monsagrati, 2020; br., pp. 140, cm 12x18. (Percorsi). Esiste un Gotico autoctono nell'Italia del diciannovesimo secolo, una rielaborazione locale di forme e modelli inglesi - un Gotico "sotto il sole", per così dire? Nel suo breve saggio Francesca Saggini affronta questo argomento molto dibattuto facendo valere la presenza di strutture e chiari motivi gotici in numerosi romanzi italiani, da "I promessi sposi" di Alessandro Manzoni (1827) a "Le avventure di Pinocchio" (1883) di Carlo Lorenzini (Collodi). Il percorso del Gotico italiano si chiude con i discorsi antirazionalisti e antiscientifici fioriti alla fine del secolo e modalità ermeneutiche come lo spiritismo, il mesmerismo e l'occultismo, sempre più di moda nella stampa popolare. Il saggio include una disamina del tutto inedita sui vampiri italiani dell'Ottocento, che non smisero mai di affiorare anche all'ombra del nostro sole nero. Libro.…
