Beschreibung

A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 2 is an essential anthology that presents a rich tapestry of medieval drama, showcasing the ethical, social, and religious complexities of its time. This volume, characterized by robust characterization and intricate plots, includes lesser-known works alongside iconic pieces from the Old English period. The linguistic nuances and archaic expressions weave a literary style that is both poetic and accessible, forming a vital link between the oral traditions and the written word, while also reflecting the cultural milieu of 14th to 16th century England, a time when the theater began to flourish as a distinctive art form. The contributors to this collection comprise various playwrights whose identities often remain obscured by time, yet whose work significantly impacted the evolution of English drama. Many contemporaneously grappled with themes such as morality, divine justice, and social hierarchy, influenced by the contextual shifts in religion and politics throughout medieval England. The collaborative nature of this anthology underscores not only the versatile creativity of its authors but also the communal artistry that defines the era's theatrical landscape. Highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval literature, this volume invites readers to delve into the vibrant world of Old English theater. It provides a multifaceted understanding of the period's societal values and the artistry of its playwrights, making it a valuable addition to both academic collections and personal libraries. Whether you are exploring the roots of English drama or seeking to engage with historical narratives, A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 2 offers a compelling glimpse into a transformative era.

    'This house. It's called "Sea View". It's just I've looked out of every window, and you can't. You can't see the sea.'
    Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in two hundred years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.
    Jez Butterworth's play The Hills of California was first performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2024, directed by Sam Mendes, and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions and Neal Street.

    The Knotsman does not exist, you will not find him in history books or collections of 'bygone' skills. But Math Jones has created him, and his fellows, in a time very like the English Civil War. There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.

    In the early 1930s, in southern Georgia, young Billy was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for the murder of Luke Hampton, a crime young Billy did not commit. During his first years in prison he trained the warden's tracking hounds, and with the help of his favorite hound, Ole Red, Billy escaped and made his way to northern Idaho. After many years of worrying about being caught and wondering who had committed the murder, he told his grandson, Trey, a retired detective, about his past and how he had escaped from prison with the help of Ole Red. Even though the murder had been committed in the 1930s, Trey told his grandfather Bill he would go to Georgia and try to find out who committed the murder. Trey got more than he bargained for when during his investigation of the old murder, he uncovered crime and corruption that had been going on for decades in his grandfather's old hometown of Hardwood, Georgia. Trey's investigation brought to light the person who murdered Luke Hampton so many years earlier and it was a shock and total surprise to him and his grandfather Bill.

    Chaos in paradise is a collection of fifty poems that dive deep into the duality of my mind as a person. Even though a healthy garden exists in my heart, inescapable darkness looms over it. Within this collection, I battle with self-identity, love, depression, a desire to escape from the confines of normal society, loss, and the contradictory nature that is me. I wrote this book to free my mind from every insane thought that lives within me and capture it on paper so that it liberates you from the chaos that may reside in yours. I believe everyone is fighting a mental battle under every smile they wear. There might be days when you want to give in to the darkness inside of you, do it. Drown in those thoughts until you embrace, accept, and come to peace with them because the dawn is on its way. And at the end of every moonlit path is a horizon where paradise exists. It might be closer than you think. Have you looked in the mirror lately?
