David Scott Kastan Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Historický epos barokového básnika Johna Miltona preložil Marián Andričík. Dielo po prvý raz vychádza v slovenčine. Rozsiahla epická báseň Stratený raj sa považuje za jednu z najvýznmnejších diel napísaných v angličtine. Je napísaná blankversom - jambickým nerýmovaným veršom. Príbeh začína v pekle, kde sa Satan - hlavný protagonista eposu - a jeho nasledovatelia spamätávajú z porážky vo vojne proti Bohu. Satan im rozpráva o stvorení nového sveta a nového druhu bytostí podľa dávneho proroctva. Ľudia - Adam a Eva - majú v raji zakázané jediné - jesť zo Stromu poznania. Satan začína svoju púť po raji, kde prevtelený za hada zvedie Evu k prvému hriechu - ochutnaniu jablka zo Stromu poznania. Boh posiela svojho Syna súdiť vinníkov - Eva s Adamom sú vyhnaní z raja.

The essays in <strong></strong><strong> <em>Staging the Renaissance</em> </strong> show the theatre to be the site of a rich confluence of cultural forces, the place where social meanings are both formed and transformed. The volume unites some of the most challenging issues in contemporary Renaissance studies and some of our best-known critics, including Stephen Orgel, Margaret Ferguson, Catherine Belsey, Jonathan Goldberg, Marjorie Garber, Lisa Jardine, and Jonathan Dollimore-- demonstrating the variety and vitality not only of contemporary criticism, but of Renaissance drama itself.

A play alive with escapades and action, comedy and history, Henry IV, Part One begins the transformation of the madcap Prince Hal into the splendid ruler King Henry. In it a rebellion against King and State is juxtaposed with another rebellion–the riotous misbehavior of Hal and his companions, principally Falstaff. A superbly funny liar, coward, lecher, and cheat, the larger-than-life character Falstaff turns this great historical drama into a masterpiece of counterpoint and design. Each Edition Includes: • Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography
