Six Plays by Henrik Ibsen (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics Trade Paper)

Henrik Ibsen


Six Plays by Henrik Ibsen (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics Trade Paper) Henrik Ibsen Book Description The father of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen shook off the stale conventions of nineteenth-century theater and made the stage play an instrument for brilliantly illuminating the dark recesses of human nature. After writing historical plays and imaginative epic dramas in verse, such as Peer Gynt , Ibsen turned away from history and romanticism to focus instead on the problems of the individual and modern society. The plays of his middle period— A Doll’s House, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, and his most popular play, Hedda Gabler —are masterpieces of stark psychological realism. In his final plays, including The Master Builder , Ibsen mixed realism and symbolism to enrich his examination of our subconscious drives and urges. Ibsen was criticized and denounced during his lifetime for expanding the boundaries of what is acceptable fare for the stage. Audiences were shocked when he wrote of feminist yearnings, venereal disease, and... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book Description The father of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen shook off the stale conventions of nineteenth-century theater and made the stage play an instrument for brilliantly illuminating the dark recesses of human nature.

Holy Tears, Holy Blood: Women, Catholicism, and the Culture of Suffering in France, 1840-1970

Richard D. E. Burton


Holy Tears, Holy Blood: Women, Catholicism, and the Culture of Suffering in France, 1840-1970 Richard D. E. Burton Book DescriptionIn Holy Tears, Holy Blood, Richard D. E. Burton continues his investigation of Catholic France from Revolution to Liberation. From his focus in Blood in the City on public demonstrations of the cultural power of Catholicism, he now turns to more private rituals, those codes of conduct that shaped the interior lives of French Catholic women and determined their artistic and social presentation. Book DescriptionIn Holy Tears, Holy Blood, Richard D. E. Burton continues his investigation of Catholic France from Revolution to Liberation. From his focus in Blood in the City on public demonstrations of the cultural power of Catholicism, he now turns to more private rituals, those codes of conduct that shaped the interior lives of French Catholic women and determined their artistic and social presentation. "Here there is rather less blood, and considerably more weeping," Burton says. In portraits of eleven women, including Simone Weil and Sainte Therese, he traces the lasting power of particular expressions of suffering and sacrifice. How, Burton asks, does a rapidly modernizing society accommodate the cultural-historical legacy of religious belief, in particular the extreme conservative beliefs of ultramontane Catholicism? Burton pays particular attention to the doctrine of "vicarious suffering," whereby an individual suffers for the redemption of others, and to......
