Edition 2010
Publication Noida, Faber and Faber Limited, 2006.
Description xxxx, 160pBeige Spine
Series Longman Study Edition
Summary/Abstract Jimmy Porter plays trumpet badly. He browbeats his flatmate, terrorizes his wife, and is not above sleeping with her best friend, who loathes Jimmy almost as much as he loathes himself. Yet this working-class Hamlet, the original Angry Young Man, is one of the most mesmerizing characters ever to burst onto a stage, a malevolently vital, volcanically articulate internal exile in the dreary, dreaming Siberia of postwar England. First produced in 1956, 'Look Back in Anger' launched a revolution in the English theater. Savagely, sadly, and always impolitely, it compels readers and audiences to acknowledge the hidden currents of rottenness and rage in what used to be called "the good life."

Macbeth: Critical essays: Volume 6 / Shakespeare, William; Schoenbaum, S.(Ed.) 2015  Book
Shakespeare, William Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Routledge, 2015.
Description xvi, 398pYellow spine
Summary/Abstract Originally published in 1991. Collecting together commentary and critique on ‘the Scottish play’, this book showcases varied discussions of the text and the theatrical productions. From Samuel Johnson’s brief 1765 comment to the editor’s own piece on the Porter’s scene, the texts included here are popular important accounts of thoughts and scholarship on the play over the years. Some pieces address the most famous early Lady Macbeth – Mrs Siddons, while others look at a theme or specific issue such as Lady Macbeth’s children. This is a great sample of the voluminous body of work looking at the tragedy, considering its images, symbols, meanings and its challenges for the stage.

Midsummer night's dream / Shakespeare, William; Hackett, Helen 1977  Book
Shakespeare, William Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Devon, Northcote House, 1977.
Description viii, 88pBlue spine
Series Writers and their work
Summary/Abstract Chang and transformation are central to the action, themes and language of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' In this lucid study, Helen Hackett shows how the play participates in a widespread 1590's concern with mutability; often, as here, expressed through moon-iamsgery and associated with representations of the ageing Virgin Queen. It is also very much a play about procreative change, set at one of the 'green hinges' of the year.
