Springer Nature Switzerland AG Games and Gaming in Early Modern Drama: Stakes
Book SynopsisThis book is a close taxonomic study of the pivotal role of games in early modern drama. The presence of the game motif has often been noticed, but this study, the most comprehensive of its kind, shows how games operate in more complex ways than simple metaphor and can be syntheses of emblem and dramatic device. Drawing on seventeenth-century treatises, including Francis Willughby’s Book of Games, which only became available in print in 2003, and divided into chapters on Dice, Cards, Tables (Backgammon), and Chess, the book brings back into focus the symbolism and divinatory origins of games. The work of more than ten dramatists is analysed, from the Shakespeare and Middleton canon to rarer plays such as The Spanish Curate, The Two Angry Women of Abington and The Cittie Gallant. Games and theatre share common ground in terms of performance, deceit, plotting, risk and chance, and the early modern playhouse provided apt conditions for vicarious play. From the romantic chase to the financial gamble, and in legal contest and war, the twenty-first century is still engaging the game. With its extensive appendices, the book will appeal to readers interested in period games and those teaching or studying early modern drama, including theatre producers, and awareness of the vocabulary of period games will allow further references to be understood in non-dramatic texts.Table of Contents1. Chapter 1: Introduction.2. Chapter 2: Games in Early Modern Culture.3. Chapter 3: Dice: the roll/role of chance and luck .4. Chapter 4: Cards: face cards, rules, and secrecy.5. Chapter 5: Tables: Backgammon and race games between the sexes.6. Chapter 6: Chess: war, harmony, sex and politics.- 7Chapter 7: Conclusion.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Shakespeare's Storytelling: An Introduction to
Book SynopsisShakespeare’s Storytelling: An Introduction to Genre, Character, and Technique is a textbook focused on specific storytelling techniques and genres that Shakespeare invented or refined. Drawing on examples from popular novels, plays, and films (such as IT, Beloved, Sex and the City, The Godfather, and Fences) the book provides an overview of how Shakespearean storytelling techniques including character flaws, conflicts, symbols, and more have been adapted by later writers and used in the modern canon. Rather than taking a historicist or theoretical approach, Nate Eastman uses recognizable references and engaging language to teach the concepts and techniques most applicable to the future study of Creative Writing, English, Theater, and Film and Media. Students will be prepared to interpret Shakespeare’s plays and understand Shakespeare as the beginning of a literary tradition. A readable introduction to Shakespeare and his significance, this book is suitable for undergraduates.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction.- Chapter 2 Shakespeare the Storyteller.- Chapter 3 Characters and their Stories.- Chapter 4 Relationships Between Characters.- Chapter 5 Structure.- Chapter 6 Shakespeare's Genres.- Chapter 7 Applications and Exercises.- Chapter 8 Conclusion.
