Principles of Shakespearian Production

George Wilson Knight

4.9/5 (28581 ratings)

Description:George Wilson Knight has inaugurated a new school of Shakespearian interpretation concerned primarily with the dramatist's more profound and universal meanings. These investigations necessarily react sharply on stage production. Mr Knight's original interest in Shakespeare was a stage interest, and he has himself over a number of years devoted considerable care to the arts of production and acting. In this book, published originally in 1936, he outlines the kind of stage technique which he considers necessary to the proper expression of the Shakespearian statement. There has in the past been much archaeological discussion of the Elizabethan stage, and also some semi-dramatic commentary on individual plays. But this is the only study as yet published which treats the subject as a whole, and, while concentrating on the timeless rather than the historical qualities of Shakespeare's plays, offers a closely reasoned approach in general principles to the central problems of their production.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
