  • Как жаль, что она шлюха Джон Форд
    Год издания: 2018
    Издательство: Вимбо
    Язык: Русский

    Джон Форд – один из крупнейших английских драматургов шекспировской плеяды. Юрист по профессии, он получил классическое образование в Оксфорде. Дебютировал как поэт, автор поэм, элегий и сонетов. Трагедия «Как жаль, что она шлюха», изданная в 1633 году, – самое сильное драматургическое произведение Форда. Западный кинематограф дважды брался за эту душераздирающую историю любви брата и сестры. Не так давно известный театральный режиссер Роман Виктюк обратился к этой пьесе, поставив спектакль «Крылья из пепла». Анабелла – известная красавица, к которой сватаются толпы женихов, представить, что она будет верной Джованни невозможно. Ее…

  • A Woman Killed with Kindness and Other Domestic Plays (сборник) Джон Форд
    ISBN: 9780192829504
    Год издания: 2008
    Издательство: Oxford University Press
    Язык: Английский
    In about 1590, an unknown dramatist had the idea of writing a tragedy about the lives of ordinary people, instead of the genre's usual complement of kings and queens and politicians. His play, Arden of Faversham, inaugurated a new genre of 'domestic' drama, set in near-contemporary England and concerned with issues of marriage, crime, and property rather than war and power. Arden dramatizes a notorious murder case of forty years earlier, in which a wealthy husband was killed by his wife and her lover.

    In Thomas Heywood's A Woman Killed with Kindness, a wife is caught by her husband in bed with his best friend, only to find that he takes unusual reprisals. The Witch of Edmonton combines a true-life story of witchcraft with a fictitious tale of bigamy and wife-murder, and The English Traveller deals with the unexpected and unwelcome changes people find when they return home after a lengthy absence.

    Part of the Oxford English Drama series, this edition has modern-spelling texts; a critical introduction that outlines the way all four plays raise powerful and complex questions about the English society in which their tragic events unfold; wide-ranging notes; a chronology of the plays from their sources to recent performance; and appendices relating to two of the plays: who wrote Arden of Faversham and when did Heywood write The English Traveller.
  • 'Tis Pity She's a Whore and Other Plays John Ford
    ISBN: 9780199553860
    Год издания: 2008
    Издательство: Oxford University Press
    Язык: Английский
    Ford wrote darkly about sexual and political passion, despair, thwarted ambition, and incest. This selection also shows his ability to portray the poignancy of love as well as write entertaining comedy and create convincing roles for women. His Annabella, Hippolita, Penthea, Calantha, and Katherine Gordon rank among the most dramatically powerful female characters on the post-Shakespearean stage.

    Setting Ford's earliest surviving independently-written play, The Lover's Melancholy, alongside his three best known works, this edition includes an introduction with sections on each play addressing gender issues, modern relevance, and staging possibilities. Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation, supplemented by detailed annotation.
  • The Witch of Edmonton Джон Форд
    Язык: Английский
    The Witch of Edmonton is an English Jacobean play, written by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford in 1621. The play-"probably the most sophisticated treatment of domestic tragedy in the whole of Elizabethan-Jacobean drama"-is based on supposedly real-life events that took place in the village of Edmonton, outside London, earlier in the year. The play depicts Elizabeth Sawyer, an old woman shunned by her neighbours, who gets revenge by selling her soul to the Devil, who appears to her in the shape of a black dog called Tom. In addition, there are two subplots. One depicts a bigamist who murders his second wife at the devil's prompting, and the other depicts a clownish yokel who befriends the devil-dog.
