150 Years of Popular Musical Theatre $58.05 From the Parisian operettas of Jacques Offenbach in the 1850s to such current blockbuster musicals as Les Miserables and Rent, musical theatre has given joy to audiences throughout the world. This lively book — an illustrated history of popular musical theatre — provides a compendium of fascinating details about the origins and development of the genre over a century and a half.Andrew Lamb moves from country to country, showing how different cultures interpreted and were influenced by different types of musical theatre. He examines, for example, the development of the European operetta style from French and Viennese works to such less-well-known schools as the Spanish zarzuela. He also traces the evolution of English-language works from the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan and American vaudevilles and extravaganzas to the latest Broadway and West End musicals. For each significant work he provides a brief description of the plot and references to the principal musical numbers. While his focus is on composers, librettists, and lyricists, he also gives information about principal performers, directors, and other creative influences. In a masterful way he conveys the differences between works of the same composer and works by various composers, and shows how they reflect changing cultural tastes and musical and dramatic conventions. Displaying a deep and wide-ranging expertise, this authoritative book is an invaluable resource for all lovers of the musical theatre. |

A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, 1599 $221.9 Instead of a full-scale Shakespeare biography, Columbia University professor James Shapiro offers us a brilliant micro-history, a slice of the Stratford Bard’s life. He centers his narrative on 1599, a year crucial not only to the dramatist’s artistic evolution but also to England’s national destiny. He places Henry VI, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and Hamlet within the context of their times, most especially to upheavals in Elizabeth’s court and the threatened second assault by the Spanish Armada. He doesn’t neglect events closer to the London stage; including the construction of the Globe and the retirement of comic actor Will Kemp. A stimulating study. |

American Nomads $14.95 Fascinated by the land of endless horizons, sunshine, and the open road, Richard Grant spent fifteen years wandering throughout the United States, never spending more than three weeks in one place and getting to know America’s nomads, truckers, tramps, rodeo cowboys, tie-dyed concert followers, flea market traders, retirees who live year round in their RVs, and the murderous Freight Train Riders of America (FTRA). In a richly comic travelogue, Grant uses these lives and his own to examine the myths and realities of the wandering life and its contradiction with the sedentary American dream. Along with a personal account, American Nomads traces the history of wandering in the New World, through vividly told stories of frontiersmen, fur trappers and cowboys, Comanche and Apache warriors, all the way back to the first Spanish explorers who crossed the continent. What unites these disparate characters, as they range back and forth across the centuries, is a stubborn conviction that the only true freedom is to roam across the land. |

Chapters: Georg Danzer, Elfi Graf, Josef Staudigl, Alois Kaiser, Arik Brauer, Lizzi Waldmüller, Ferry Graf, Tamee Harrison, Christina Simon, Harry Winter, Hansi Lang. Excerpt: Georg Franz Danzer (October 7, 1946, Vienna June 21, 2007, Asperhofen, Lower Austria) was an Austrian singer-songwriter. Although he is credited as one of the pioneers of Austropop (most famous are his comic songs “Jö schau” (about a streaker at the Café Hawelka) and “Hupf’ in Gatsch”, both in Viennese German), he always refused to be part of this genre. Danzer was successful as a solo artist, but also in the group Austria3, along with Wolfgang Ambros and Rainhard Fendrich. Besides his music, he translated two books from Spanish into German, and was strongly involved in highlighting social inequalities, opposing racism and any form of societal discrimination, and the lifestyle of the bourgeoisie for all his life. Danzer was romantic, funny, socially engaged – and often a misfit. Having been a strong smoker for decades, he abstained from smoking after being diagnosed with lung cancer, but nevertheless died from the disease. His legacy includes some 400 songs. Georg Danzer was the son of a communist Viennese magistrate and a lazy student. After his Matura (high school leaving certificate) he hitchhiked through Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. In autumn 1966 he applied for admission to Vienna’s Akademie für Darstellende Künste (Drama Academy), but was not accepted; so instead he started studying Philosophy and Psychology in Vienna. In a 1968 ORF-Interview he stated his intention to study Journalism, to which moderator Gerhard Bronner replied: “Shift to music soon, young man. In 1967 Danzer had started to write and play music after he returned from a longer hitchhiking tour of … |

Desire Unlimited: The Cinema of Pedro Almodovar $3.99 Pedro Almodovar … winner of a BAFTA for Best Director, 2000All About My Mother … Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film, 2000The huge international success of his latest feature, All About My Mother, has finally granted Pedro Almodovar the recognition he deserves, as the most artistically ambitious and commercially consistent film-maker in Europe.Frequently comic, often deadly serious, always visually glorious, his films range from the screwball comedy Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and the SM melodrama Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! to the almost classically austere Live Flesh. And, while questions of gender, nationality and sexuality have always been Almodovar’s concern, new subjects have been addressed in his more recent work: the corrosive effects of a deregulated Spanish media, the transition from dictatorship to democracy and, in All About My Mother, uncompromising explorations of the process of mourning.This new edition includes four new chapters, among which is a rare interview with Almodovar himself, a new preface and additional illustrations. Still the only study of its kind in English, it vigorously confirms its original argument, that beneath Almodovar’s genius for comedy and visual pleasure lies a film-maker whose work deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness. |

Distracted Subjects $23.95 In the first book to provide a feminist analysis of early modern madness, Carol Thomas Neely reveals the mobility and heterogeneity of discourses of “distraction,” the most common term for the condition in late-sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Distracted Subjects shows how changing ideas of madness that circulated through medical, dramatic, and political texts transformed and gendered subjectivities. Supernatural causation is denied, new diagnoses appear, and stage representations proliferate. Drama sometimes leads and sometimes follows other cultural discourses-or forges its own prophetic figures of distraction.The Spanish Tragedy first links madness to masculine tragic self-representation, and Hamlet invents a language to dramatize feminine somatic illness. Innovative women’s melancholy is theorized in medical and witchcraft treatises and then elaborated in the extended portrait of the Jailer’s Daughter’s distraction in The Two Noble Kinsmen. Lovesickness, newly diagnosed in women, demands novel cures, and allows expressions of transgressive sexual desire in treatises and in plays such as As You Like It. The rituals of possession and exorcism, intensely debated off stage, are mocked and exploited on stage in reiterated comic scenes of confinement that madden men to enhance women’s power.Neely’s final chapter provides a startling challenge to the critically alluring analogy between Bedlam and the early modern stage by documenting that Bethlem hospital offered care, not spectacle, whereas stage Bedlamites served metatheatrical and prophylactic, not mimetic, ends. An epilogue places this particular historical moment within the longer history of madness and shows how our own attitudes toward distraction are haunted by those earlier debates and representations. |

The rituals of possession and exorcism, intensely debated off stage are mocked and exploited on stage in reiterated comic scenes of confinement that madden men to enhance women’s power. Neely provides a startling challenge to the critically alluring analogy between Bedlam and the early modern stage by documenting that Bethlem hospital offered care, not spectacle. An epilogue shows how our own attitudes toward distraction are haunted by those earlier debates and representations. |

El Cazador $2.17 Meet Lady Sin: a Spanish Donessa who searches the seven seas on a quest for vengeance. It’’s 1687, and pirate captain Blackjack Tom sets siege on a Spanish galleon. All the brave Spaniards are killed – save for one: the beautiful, aristocratic Donessa, who vows to take revenge. She seizes control of one of Blackjack Tom’’s ships; is rechristened Lady Sin, the most bloodthirsty – and comeliest – lady pirate on the high seas; and sets sail to find her kidnapped mother and brother.

Exorcism and Its Texts $103 Exorcism and demonic possession appear as recurrent motifs in early modern Spanish and English literatures. In Exorcism and Its Texts, Hilaire Kallendorf demonstrates how this ‘infection’ was represented in some thirty works of literature by fifteen different authors, ranging from canonical classics like Shakespeare, Cervantes, Ben Jonson, and Lope de Vega, to obscure works by anonymous writers. From comic and tragic drama to picaresque narrative and eight other genres, possession worked as a paradigm through which authors could convey extraordinary experience, including not only demonic possession but also madness or even murder. The devil was thought to be able to enter the bodily organs and infect memory, imagination, and reason. Some came to believe that possession was tied to enthusiasm, poetic frenzy, prophecy, and genius. Authors often drew upon sensational details of actual exorcisms. In some cases, such as in Shakespeare, curing the body (and the body politic) meant affirming cultural authority; in others, as with Zamora, it clearly meant subverting it. Drawing on the disciplines of literary theory and history, Exorcism and its Texts is the first comprehensive study of this compelling topic. |

Francisco Goya $2.44 From the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of Son of the Morning Star and Deus Lo Volt! comes a biography that breaks the mold–recounting with stunning immediacy the uncommon genius behind the renowned Spanish painter. Darkly brilliant and casually masterful in turn, Francisco Goya changed art forever. During the days of the Spanish Inquisition, Goya painted royalty, street urchins, and demons with the same brush, bringing his own distinctive touch to each. This unusual man and his ghastly times are the perfect subject for Evan S. Connell, one of our greatest and least conventional writers. Introducing a wealth of detail and a cast of comic characters–a motley group of dukes, queens, and artists, as lewd and incorrigible a crew as history has ever produced–Connell has conjured Goya’s life with wit, erudition, and a sparkling imagination. |

Gibraltar: or, the Spanish adventure, a comedy. As it was acted at the theatre in Drury-Lane. By Mr. Dennis. $12.56 The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

In the Funny Papers: Stories $2 Situated in small-town North Carolina, Miller’s tales, cautionary in tone, usually depict blue-collar family life and yet almost resemble old fairy tales. Her stories center around southern families and the dynamics, both loving and hostile, that move families together, separate them, threaten them, and then finally protect them. The characters in these stories–children, men and women, often husbands and wives–recognize these forces and act to salvage those they love in efforts that are often as trivial as they are heroic.Often told from the point of view of an angry or disillusioned child, the stories of this superb collection are comic as well as tragic; others are angry and even critical. In the title story, Quint, a young boy suffering from the effects of a broken home, finds solace in Sparkle Plenty, the baby doll with deep double dimples, big eyes, and long white-blond hair who lives in the Dick Tracy comic strip and beckons Quint to live forever with her in the funny papers. In "My Spanish Skirt," Laramie envies her friend’s skirt because of its magical power to charge her imagination–her only escape from the deadly combat taking place between her parents. But Laramie soon discovers that the skirt only causes more confusion and sorrow and anger.All of the stories manifest a genuine love for southern families and the people who are caught, confused, and eventually encouraged and sustained within them. As Thomas Hardy once observed, "Our personal griefs and triumphs are often absurd to other people." But rather than making fun of her characters, Heather Ross Miller is sympathizing as deeply as she can imagine: "These things are only manageable with a bit of humor, even with a caustic flavor. So, as in the funny papers, things can work out, with humor, with plain sense, and, if we are lucky, a bit of magic." |

Lady Nitwit/la Dama Boda $25 Drama. In Spanish and English, translated by William I. Oliver. Lope de Vega, the most renowned playwright of the Spanish Golden Age (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries), was said to have written over 1,800 plays in verse. His life outside letters was so filled with romantic escapades, marital infidelities, and political and artistic disputes that the lives of his heroes paled by comparison. LADY NITWIT/LA DAMA BOBA is a perceptive character study of a female scatterbrain made wise in the ways of the world through the power of love. The plot moves from one delightfully comic situation to another, evoking the contradictions encountered in the course of love. The dialogue sparkles with humor and repartee. The ear of the translator always has the actors’ and spectators’ interests in mind. The wit sparkles. The characterizations are true … I hope I get to see a production of this translation on stage. It would be a delight! — David Glitz, University of Rhode Island. |

Lazarillo de Tormes and The Swindler: Two Spanish Picaresque Novels $1.99 The two short novels in this volume follow the adventures of two unlikely heroes-delinquent pícaros living by their wits among corrupt priests and prostitutes, beggars and idle gentlemen, thieves, tricksters, and murderers. Lazarillo de Tormes (1554), published anonymously, provided a literary model for Cervantes’ Don Quixote and describes the ingenious ruses employed by a boy from Salamanca to outwit a succession of disreputable masters. Francisco de Quevedo’s The Swindler (1626) is a comic yet brutal and sordid account of a servant who wants to become a gentleman but ends up a cardsharp and common criminal.Author Biography: Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645) was a distinguished and prolific writer of prose and poetry but chose a political career. Towards the end of his life he was imprisoned in a monastery as a result of his writing. The Author of Lazarillo de Tormes, who published the novel anonymously, is thought to come from sixteenth-century Erasmian or New Christian circles. Michael Alpert, Professor Emeritus of Modern and Contemporary History of Spain at the University of Westminster, has published several books and articles on Spanish history. |

Male Delivery: Reproduction, Effeminacy, and Pregnant Men in Early Modern Spain $29.36 Using the one-act comedy El parto de Juan Rana (John Frog Gives Birth) as a point of departure, Velasco argues that the figure of the pregnant man in early modern Spanish culture was not merely comic entertainment, but also served an important role as a physical representation of the anxieties about the changing roles of men and women at the time.Men were increasingly taking over medical duties–especially surrounding childbirth–usually left to women and, as their medical knowledge increased, they became aware of bodies and behaviors–both male and female–that transgressed gender norms. The anxieties about men who acted in ways seen as increasingly womanly (from acting effeminately to participating in homosexual activity) played out in the character of pregnant Juan Rana.Then, Velasco turns to Hollywood and asks if we might not use the lessons of Juan Rana to help explain why contemporary America is also fascinated by the idea of male pregnancy–think Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior–and our increasing anxiety over the changing face of masculinity in our own culture. |

Philip V of Spain: The King Who Reigned Twice $3.73 Philip V, who reluctantly assumed the Spanish throne in 1700, was the first of the Bourbon dynasty which continues to reign today. Philip’s forty-six-year reign, briefly curtailed in 1724 when he abdicated in favor of his short-lived son, Louis I, was one of the most important in the country’s history. This highly readable account is the first biography of Philip V in English. Previous writing on Philip has been largely negative, dismissing him as comic, stupid, and indolent. Henry Kamen demonstrates here, however, that the king initiated significant developments in politics, imperial policy, finance, government, and the army that laid the basis of the modern Spanish state. Philip also encouraged literature, the creative arts, and music in ways that brought Spanish culture closer in touch with Europe, and he dealt authoritatively with issues concerning the autonomy of the provinces of Spain and the role of the monarchy itself. Drawing on both contemporary sources and fresh archival sources, Kamen discusses Philip’s character, decisions, and policies. Kamen’s account of Philip as king provides an essential introduction to the study of early eighteenth-century Spain and the Bourbon monarchy. Author Biography: Henry Kamen is professor of the Higher Council for Scientific Research in Barcelona. He is the author of many books on European and Spanish history, including Philip of Spain, The Spanish Inquisition, and The Phoenix and the Flame, all published by Yale University Press. |

Excerpt: Rocky is a Swedish autobiographical comic strip created by Martin Kellerman, focusing on an anthropomorphic dog, Rocky, and his friends in their everyday life in Stockholm. Rocky is based on Kellerman’s own life. According to Kellerman, “My friends are just such perfect cartoon characters. A lot of times they say things and all I have to do is write it down. Their personalities match and complement each other so well, it’s impossible not to write it down. If I wait a while, even the upsetting stuff they can still laugh about.” Some of the humor draws from hip hop culture, and the dialogue sometimes incorporates English phrases. Kellerman states that “when a Swede says something like Jay-Z would say, that’s automatically funny. It’s still white here, but in Sweden, it’s funnier. Most of my friends have grown up on hip-hop, but it’s like a jokewe’re so not gangsta.” The comic has been translated to Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, English, Spanish and French, either as a running strip or collected in book form. Kellerman created Rocky after his girlfriend broke up with him and he was fired from his job as a cartoonist for a pornographic magazine. He decided to draw a comic strip about his current situation to entertain himself and his friends, and did not initially take it seriously. The strip was picked up by the free newspaper Metro, and moved from publication to publication because multiple |

The Ancient Southwest & Other Dispatches from a Cruel Frontier $10.48 From dinosaurs to Conquistadores, The Ancient Southwest, a dynamically illustrated collection of natural history and early-day recorded history, takes its cue from the tradition of storytelling in pictures. The narrative medium is the comic strip, applied here to increase popular interest in geology, as one of its original contributors described the project. An enormously popular feature in the West Texas newspaper where it originated more than fifty years ago, The Ancient Southwest has been painstakingly restored and annotated by the cartoonist and cultural historian Michael H. Price as a follow-through to a lengthy collaboration with the primary artist, the late George E. Turner. The strips, originally designed for serialized weekly publication, have gone unseen since 1951-1952. Inspired by the permanent collections of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas, the cartoons cover a vast span of prehistory, from the earliest invertebrate and reptilian life to the Age of Mammals and the Paleo-Indians. The volume also contains a full restoration of Turne’s The Palo Duro Story, recounting one of the earliest Spanish explorations of North America from the viewpoint of Cabeza de Vaca. An appendix reproduces a selection of Turner’s college-newspaper cartoons of the post-World War II years, foreshadowing the style he would bring to bear upon The Ancient Southwest and The Palo Duro Story. |

Year in the Life of William Shakespeare 1599 $14.99 Instead of a full-scale Shakespeare biography, Columbia University professor James Shapiro offers us a brilliant micro-history, a slice of the Stratford Bard’s life. He centers his narrative on 1599, a year crucial not only to the dramatist’s artistic evolution but also to England’s national destiny. He places Henry VI, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and Hamlet within the context of their times, most especially to upheavals in Elizabeth’s court and the threatened second assault by the Spanish Armada. He doesn’t neglect events closer to the London stage; including the construction of the Globe and the retirement of comic actor Will Kemp. A stimulating study. |
