The Elizabethan Stage (Vol 3 of 4)

The Elizabethan Stage (Vol 3 of 4)

I have found it convenient, especially in Appendix A, to use the symbol < following a date, to indicate an uncertain date not earlier than that named, and the symbol > followed by a date, to indicate an uncertain date not later than that named. Thus 1903 <> 23 would indicate the composition date of any part of this book. I have sometimes placed the date of a play in italics, where it was desirable to indicate the date of production rather than publication. [Bibliographical Note.Of the dissertations named in the note to ch. xviii, T. S. Graves, The Court and the London Theatres (1913), is perhaps the most valuable for the subject of the present chapter, which was mainly written before it reached me. A general account of the Italian drama of the Renaissance is in W. Creizenach, Geschichte des neueren Dramas, vol. ii (1901). Full details for Ferrara and Mantua are given by A. DAncona, Origini del Teatro Italiano (1891), of which App. II is a special study of Il Teatro Mantovano nel secolo xvi. F. Neri, La Tragedia italiana del Cinquecento (1904), E. Gardner, Dukes and Poets at Ferrara (1904), and The King of Court Poets (1906), W. Smith, The Commedia dell Arte (1912), are also useful. Special works on staging are E. Flechsig, Die Dekorationen der modernen Bhne in Italien (1894), and G. Ferrari, La Scenografia (1902). The Terence engravings are described by M. Herrmann, Forschungen zur deutschen Theatergeschichte des Mittelalters und der Renaissance (1914). Of contemporary Italian treatises, the unprinted Spectacula of Pellegrino Prisciano is in Cod. Est. lat. d. x. 1, 6 (cf. G. Bertoni, La Biblioteca Estense, 13), and of L. de Sommis Dialoghi in materia di rappresentazione scenica (c. 1565) a part only is in L. Rasi, I Comici italiani (1897), i. 107. The first complete edition of S. Serlio, Architettura (1551), contains Bk. ii, on Perspettiva; the English translation was published by R. Peake (1611); extracts are in App. G; a biography is L. Charvet, Sbastien Serlio (1869). Later are L. Sirigatti, La pratica di prospettiva (1596), A. Ingegneri, Della poesia rappresentativa e del modo di rappresentare le favole sceniche (1598), and N. Sabbatini, Pratica di fabricar scene e macchine ne Teatri (1638). ......Buy Now (To Read More)
