Book Synopsis Renaissance Revivals by : Wendy Griswold

Download or read book Renaissance Revivals written by Wendy Griswold and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Revivals examines patterns in the London revivals of two English Renaissance theatre genres over the past four centuries. Griswold's focus on revenge tragedies and city comedies illuminates the ongoing interaction between society and its cultural products. No cultural object is ever created anew, she argues, but is instead constructed from existing cultural genres and conventions, the visions and professional needs of the artist, and the interests of an audience. Thus, every "new play" is in part a renaissance and every "revival" is in part an entirely new cultural object.
