BookId: J5-1234 Title: Nineteen Century Plays WORLD'S CLASSICS Author: George Rowell Publisher: Oxford University Press Price: 60.00 Description: This vintage book contains a collection of notable nineteenth century plays. The purpose of this volume is to assemble a representative selection of the plays which served as acceptable material in that century. The nineteenth century saw the emergence of the modern stage as we understand it: a stage framed by the proscenium arch, lit by electricity, and boxed by canvas flats; and the evolution of this stage cannot be followed without a reference to the plays that were written for it. The plays contained herein are: Black Eyed Susan, Money, Masks and Faces, The Colleen Bawn, Lad Audley's Secret, The Ticket-Of-Leave Man, Two Roses, The Bells, and A Pair of Spectacles. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author. The condition is As NEW , with original wrapped dust jacket from the World 's Classics collection. the book itself has dark green cloth cover , name of author and title in gold letters on the spine.

BookId: J5-1236 Title: Five Restoration Tragedies World,s Classics collection Author: Bonamy Dobree Publisher: Oxford University Press Price: 52.00 Description: Bonamy Dobrée was a literary scholar and university teacher, best known for his works on Restoration and eighteenth-century drama. In 1925-6, he taught at London University, and he became Professor of English at University of Leeds in 1936. He was educated and trained as a professional soldier, and fought with distinction during the First World War. He is also famous as a Kipling critic. During his lectureship in London, Dobrée became a part of the Bloomsbury Group. He was a close friend of T. S. Eliot, whom he met in 1924 in Leonard Woolf’s house in Richmond, and with whom he regularly met up for lunches in London. The two men shared a love for Kipling as an artist, and in 1926 Eliot commissioned him to write an essay on Kipling for the Criterion. Among Dobrée’s other friends was Herbert Read, with whom he collaborated to edit The London Book of English Prose (1931) and English Verse (1949). Dobrée was, in Richard Hoggard’s words, a ‘teacher and patron of young men’. Mulk Raj Anand, in his Conversations in Bloomsbury, presents a similar picture. Anand met Dobrée through his fellow student Nikhil Sen shortly after his arrival in London in 1925. Anand records a lively conversation he had with Dobrée, Sen and Gwenda Zeidmann in Museum Tavern, and a relaxing evening together with Dobrée, his wife Valentine, Sen, and Irene Rhys at Francis Meynall’s flat in the summer of 1926. In 1925, Dobrée introduced Anand to T. S. Eliot, and helped him to set up a meeting with the poet. He proved to be a good friend and mentor, despite the fact that his views on British India and admiration of Kipling occasionally offended Anand. The Five plays , here presented by Bonamy Debree, are: 1- John Dryden (1631-1700) All for love , first acted at Drury Lane in 1677 2- Thomas Otway (1652-1685) Venise Preserv'd , first acted at Dorset Garden (1682) 3- Thomas Southerne (1660-1746) Oroonoko first acted at Drury Lane in 1696 4- Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718) The Fair Penitent first acted at Lincoln's Inn Fields 1703 5- Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Cato acted at Drury Lane 1713.
