... to Summers, is “by far the best and most reliable edition of the
collected theater.”
Most of the changes documented in the textual notes stem from

directions in a scene where Florinda hugs Belvile and his vizard falls

in the 1697 edition, the masque falls off before the embrace. The order
in which these actions are p ...

Number of Words: 435 / Number of Pages: 2
... logic and the quixotic, quasi-passionate pursuit of
hackneyed conformity.
No windmills are slain1 in this simulated existence; absurdity of a
different ilk dominates the popular mentality, one which would alienate a man
based on his perceived indifference towards the mundane, and try, convict, and
execute a man based on his lack of purported empathy towards the irrelevant.
Attention to the trial sequence will reveal that the key elements of the
conviction had little to do with the actual crime Meursault had committed, but
rather the "unspeakable atrocities" he had committed while in mourning of his

Metadrama In Shakespeare
Number of Words: 2629 / Number of Pages: 10
... metadrama: by figuring Caesar, Brutus, Cassius and others as actors, self consciously fashioning Roman politics as competing theatrical performances the play enacts the representation of itself to ideology, and of ideology to subjectivity.
