Chapters: Office Space, Bandslam, Dazed and Confused, the Faculty, Slacker, D.o.a.. Excerpt: Bandslam Bandslam is a 2009 American romantic comedy film produced by Summit Entertainment and Walden Media . Written by Josh Cagan and Todd Graff , it stars Aly Michalka , Vanessa Hudgens , Gaelan Connell , Lisa Kudrow and Scott Porter . The film revolves around Will and Charlotte, who form an unlikely bond through their shared love of music.

The film was shot in Austin, Texas , with additional scenes filmed in New York City.

When Will’s mother Karen (Lisa Kudrow ) finds a new job, he switches to a new school, which he is eager to do since he was bullied at his previous one. During lunch one day at his new school, he meets a girl whose name is written Sa5m, but pronounced Sam (Vanessa Hudgens ).

Will and Sa5m quickly become friends, but shortly after, he is sought after by another girl named Charlotte Barnes] (Alyson Michalka ).

”Like who you are”: Socially constructed identity in the middle school band. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to explore the band classroom as a social context and examine its influence on middle school students’ identity constructions. Identity theory in sociological research and social identity theory in the field of social psychology provided the theoretical bases for this study. However, the integration of both theories suggested by Deaux and Martin (2003) as well as Stets and Burke (2000) proved most applicable to this inquiry. Both intergroup processes and role identities were explored.;This qualitative study included six band students enrolled in a large public middle school located in a metropolitan area on the East Coast. Enrolled in the same sixth grade band class, each of the six participants played a different instrument, and therefore provided a unique perspective on social interactions and the school experience. Ethnography and narrative inquiry informed the data collection process and methodological choices for this collective case study. Data collection included classroom observations, open-ended interviews, and weekly student journals. Data was collected over a period of 5.5 months, ending as students chose to continue or discontinue their band enrollment for the subsequent school year. Interview transcripts, field notes, and student journals were systematically coded first on a case-by-case basis, then compared, contrasted, and interpreted across cases.;Findings supported prior research on musical identity and music education. Students simultaneously valued perceived characteristics of their own group while devaluing those of other groups. In addition to supporting prior research findings, this study indicated that middle school band students make choices regarding course enrollment based on influences (rejection or affirmation) of those around them. Students initially chose to enroll in band because friends, teachers, and family members encouraged them to do so. Once they felt accepted as band members, they found particular |

”Zum Fest der heiligen Caecilia” by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel: A performing edition. $49.99 Zum Fest der heiligen Cacilia by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel is a lyrical, early Romantic ode to St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. It was composed in two days time in order to be performed for the festival of St. Cecilia on November 22, 1833. The performance, which took place at the Mendelssohn estate in Berlin, featured a choir made up of members of the Berlinersingakademie with Fanny’s friend, Pauline Decker, as soprano soloist. The text was taken from the mass for St. Cecilia’s day. Hensel’s inspiration for the work was Raphael’s painting, The Ecstasy of St. Cecilia with Sts. Paul, John the Evangelist, Augustine, and Mary Magdalene. Fanny’s husband, the painter Wilhelm Hensel, and his students created a stage set patterned after the painting, including an organ replica. The soprano soloist was dressed as St. Cecilia in the painting and three young girls dressed as the angels carried music scores. Composer Fanny Hensel accompanied and conducted from the piano.;This study is to make the work available to a variety of choral groups. Its difficulty level would make it accessible to a college or advanced high school choir, as well as a church or community group with intermediate or better musical skills. Using reproductions of Raphael’s painting as a resource, a multimedia performance, such as Fanny described, is possible; the subject matter (the patron saint of music) lends itself to a program in praise of music or the arts in general. A transcription of the original manuscript is in Appendix A and a performing edition with a new realization of the missing piano accompaniment to the soprano solo is included as Appendix B. |

Let them rest for ever silent amidst that music in the memory which is felt, not heard—its blessing mute though breathing, like an inarticulate prayer I” CHAPTER H. GLASGOW COLLEGE. 1797-1803. ” Long, long, long ago, the time when we danced hand in hand with our golden-haired sister! Long, long, long ago, the day on which she died; the hour, so far more dismal than any hour that can now darken us on this earth, when her coffin descended slowly, slowly into the horrid clay, and we were borne, deathlike and wishing to die, out of the churchyard, that from that moment we thought we could never enter more.” That touching reminiscence of his golden-haired sister, which came back among the visions of a merry Christmas long after, points to what was probably John Wilson’s first deep experience of sorrow; and it is no imaginary picture of the scene it recalled. For even in those early years, and still more as life advanced, he was intensely susceptible to emotions of grief, as well as of gladness. A heavier trial awaited him at the threshold of the new life on which he was to enter after leaving the manse of Mearns in his twelfth year. He had seen the yellow leaves fall, on to the close of that last memorable autumn which finished his happy school-time, and now he was summoned home to see his father die. As he stood at the head of the grave, chief mourner, and heard the dull earth rattling over the coffin, his emotions so overcame him that he fell to the ground in a swoon, and had to be carried away. Such an effect, on a frame more than commonly robust, indicated a depth of feeling and passion not often seen in out clime among boys, or, in its outer |

Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation, he says.

‘Til Tuesday Members $8.5 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Aimee Mann (born September 8, 1960) is an American rock guitarist, bassist, singer, and noted songwriter. Aimee Mann grew up in Bon Air, Virginia, graduated from Midlothian High School and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the Young Snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to “sweetness and melody”, she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band ‘Til Tuesday, which achieved success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann’s breakup. The producer, Mike Thorne, in a March 1999 article disputes this and states the lyrics originally had Mann singing to another woman. The gender was changed due to pressure from the record company. The video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, although Mann’s then-signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann was featured on the Rush song “Time Stand Still” (from Hold Your Fire, 1987) which became a minor UK hit, singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. Her laughter is also heard at the start of “Force Ten,” from the same album. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, ‘Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything’s Different Now. On their final tour, musician Jon Brion joined the band, which broke up in 1990 when Mann left to start her solo career. Around the time of the first album’s release, Mann began a romantic relationship with Jules Shear; they broke up before the final ‘Til Tuesday album, which contained … More: |

100 Careers in the Music Business $0.99 The music industry is flourishing—and young men and women seeking careers don’t have to be performing artists to land a rewarding job in the business.

Most important, this book gives an overview of the industry as it currently operates—describing the roles of music publishers, recording companies, record distribution groups, the musicians themselves, producers, management teams, and marketing and promotion operations. Here too are inspiring stories of men and women who have made it in many different areas of music. A glossary of terms defines music industry jargon, and an appendix lists major music organizations. 100 Careers in the Music Business gives readers the most complete picture of today’s music industry available anywhere. It’s a “must read” for anyone considering a career in music, and it deserves a place on the reference shelf of high school and college guidance counselors. |

100 Film Musicals $20 From the coming of sound to the 1960s, the musical was central to Hollywood production. Exhibiting – often in spectacular fashion – the remarkable resources of the Hollywood studios, musicals came to epitomise the very idea of ‘light entertainment’. Films like Top Hat and 42nd Street, Meet Me in St. Louis and On the Town, Singin’ in the Rain and Oklahoma!, West Side Story and The Sound of Music were hugely popular, yet were commonly regarded by cultural commentators as trivial and escapist. It was the 1970s before serious study of the Hollywood musical began to change critical attitudes and foster an interest in musical films produced in other cultures. Hollywood musicals have become less common, but the genre persists and both academic interest in and fond nostalgia for the musical shows no signs of abating.  100 Film Musicals provides a stimulating overview of the genre’s development, its major themes and the critical debates it has provoked. While centred on the dominant Hollywood tradition, 100 Film Musicals includes films from countries that often tried to emulate the Hollywood style, like Britain and Germany, as well as from very different cultures like India, Egypt and Japan. Jim Hillier and Douglas Pye also discuss post-1960s films from many different sources which adapt and reflect on the conventions of the genre, including recent examples such as Moulin Rouge! and High School Musical, demonstrating that the genre is still very much alive. |

100 Ways to Have Fun With an Alligator: Plus 100 Other Involving Art Projects $48.89  This book is playful.  It is an invitation to a party.  Imaginative and beguiling, it is also deceptive:  not one if its pages preaches about art; yet none teaches anything else. So begins 100 Ways To Have Fun With An Alligator, unlike any other art activity book on the market.  First published in 1969, it is a product of that boundary breaking era, but its ideas are so fresh they beckon us even today. The projects in this book use materials as mundane as paper and cloth, as available as shadows and one’s own voice, and as minimally challenging as a camera.  Some involve hands-on techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpting and collage, while others are more theatrical:celebrating a poet’s birthday and free associating about a color.  Other fascinating ideas include:  screening an industrial film and asking students to match music to it, designing a card asking for something without words and – of course – 100 ways to have fun with an alligator, which include buy him some rose-colored glasses and teach him to make lasagna.  In the introduction, Albert Bush-Brown, a former president of the Rhode Island School of Design says of Art:  Everyone is invited.  There should be banners and flags, shadows and lights, beacons and fountains, with lots of color and pictures on the walls.  There should be games to play, poems to read, surprises, toys and musical instruments to bang and blow. You would be invited.  The invitations would be works of art; your acceptance would decorate the hall.   This is the spirit of 100 Ways to Have Fun With An Alligator.  |

1139 Establishments: Michaelstein Abbey, House of Burgundy, Kingdom of Portugal, St. Mary’s Abbey, Dublin, Thornton Abbey, Haverholme Priory $14.13 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Michaelstein Abbey (Kloster Michaelstein) is a former Cistercian monastery, now the home of the Stiftung Kloster Michaelstein – Musikinstitut für Aufführungspraxis (“Michaelstein Abbey Foundation – Music Institute for Performance”), near the town of Blankenburg in the Harz in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. In a deed of Emperor Otto I dated 956 giving property to Quedlinburg Abbey is mentioned the cave church dedicated to Saint Michael, also known as the Volkmarskeller (as it is still called) near the Eggeröder spring. The same deed also mentions the cell of the revered anchorite Liutbirg, which traditionally was held to have been sited in or near the cave church. The holiness of the site proved attractive, and a religious community formed round it. In 1139 Beatrix II, abbess of Quedlinburg, founded a Cistercian monastery here, which was settled in 1146 by monks from Kamp Abbey. A few years later the new monastery was transferred away from the cave church to form Michaelstein Abbey on the present site. The abbey’s growing property brought it great wealth, but it never settled any daughter houses of its own. The monastery was sacked in 1525 by rebellious mobs during the Peasants’ War. The church was ruined beyond repair, and was never rebuilt; religious services were held from then on in the former chapter house. In 1533 the remaining buildings were ransacked and devastated by Wilhelm von Haugwitz. In 1543 the last Roman Catholic abbot resigned, and the abbey and its assets passed into the hands of the Counts of Blankenburg, who acted as abbots. Under their rule the now Protestant community began a school in 1544. After the death of the last count in 1599, Blankenburg and its possessions, including Michaelstein Abbey, came to the Duke of Brunswick,… More: |

In 2003, the school was granted Specialist Status in Science. It remains the only school in Gloucester with this distinction.

At the end of every academic year, usually on the second Thursday of July, pupils, staff and former Cryptians gather at Gloucester Cathedral for Founders Day, a day when the school remembers its past and how the school was founded. The Headmaster of the school pays the Rector of St Mary De Crypt Church a quit rent of one red rose. There are four school houses; Whitefield, Moore, Brown and Henley, named after notable former students. In the 1950s and 1960s,the Crypt gained a reputation for the quality of its Shakespearean productions. The plays were directed by Charles Lepper, English teacher at the Crypt, and former RSC actor.

1790 in Music: 1790 Operas, Cos Fan Tutte, No Song, No Supper $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti (Thus Do They All, or The School For Lovers) K. 588, is an opera buffa by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. Così fan tutte is one of the three Mozart operas for which Da Ponte wrote the libretto. The other two Da Ponte-Mozart collaborations were Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni. Although it is commonly held that Così fan tutte was written and composed at the suggestion of the Emperor Joseph II, recent research does not support this idea. There is evidence that Mozart’s contemporary Antonio Salieri tried to set the libretto but left it unfinished. In 1994, John Rice uncovered two terzetti by Salieri in the Austrian National Library. The title, Così fan tutte, literally means “Thus do all ” but it is often simplified to “Women are like that”. The words are sung by the three men in Act II, Scene xiii, just before the finale. Da Ponte had used the line “Così fan tutte le belle” earlier in Le nozze di Figaro (in Act I, Scene vii). The first performance of Mozart’s setting took place at the Burgtheater in Vienna on January 26, 1790. The subject matter (see synopsis below) did not offend Viennese sensibilities of the time, but throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries it was considered risqué. The opera was rarely performed, and when it did appear it was presented in one of several bowdlerised libretti. After World War II, it regained its place in the standard operatic repertoire. It is frequently performed and appears as number fifteen on Opera America’s list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America. Playbill of the first performance While the use of modern fach titles and categories has become customary, it should be noted that |

Not illustrated. Excerpt: Il crociato in Egitto (The Crusade in Egypt) is an opera in two acts by Giacomo Meyerbeer, with a libretto by Gaetano Rossi. It was first performed at La Fenice theatre, Venice on 7 March, 1824. The part of Armando was sung by the famous castrato, Giovanni Battista Velluti; the opera was probably the last ever written to feature a castrato. It is the last of Meyerbeer’s series of operas in Italian, and became the foundation of the composer’s international success. After its successful Venetian premiere, Il Crociato was the first of Meyerbeer’s operas to be performed in London (His Majesty’s Theatre, 3 June 1825, also with Velluti in the cast). This encouraged Rossini, who was then managing the Théâtre-Italien, to arrange for its performance in Paris, where the role of Armando was taken by the mezzo-soprano, Giuditta Pasta. Over the next twenty to thirty years the opera was performed in almost every major opera house in Europe, and even in Mexico City, Havana and Constantinople. The opera formed the basis for the composer’s future great success. As remarked by the critic of the London magazine The Harmonicon in 1825 – ‘Of all living composers, Meyerbeer is the one who most happily combines the easy, flowing and expressive melodies of Italy with the severer beauties, the grander accomplishments, of the German school.’ This formula of combining the strengths of both operatic schools, as well as of dramatic stage spectacle and flexible and imaginative use of the orchestra, whilst fully displayed in Il crociato, was to produce maximum effect with Meyerbeer’s series of Grand Operas, commencing with Robert le diable in 1831. While it has not been staged complete in the 20th century there have been concert performances in both Londo… More: |

Excerpt: A gramophone record, commonly known as a phonograph record (in American English), vinyl record (when made of polyvinyl chloride), or simply record, is an analog sound storage medium consisting of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the centre of the disc. Phonograph records are generally described by their size (“12-inch”, “10-inch”, “7-inch”, etc.), the rotational speed at which they are played (“33 r.p.m.”, “45″, “78″, etc.), their time capacity (“Long Playing”), their reproductive accuracy, or “fidelity”, or the number of channels of audio provided (“Mono”, “Stereo”, “Quadraphonic”, etc.). (See below.) Gramophone records were the primary medium used for commercial music reproduction for most of the 20th century, replacing the phonograph cylinder, with which they had co-existed, by the 1920s. By the late 1980s, digital media had gained a larger market share, and the vinyl record left the mainstream in 1991. However, they continue to be manufactured and sold in the 21st century. The vinyl record regained popularity by 2008, with nearly 2.9 million units shipped that year, the most in any year since 1998. They are used predominantly by young adults, as well as DJs and audiophiles for many types of music. As of 2010, vinyl records continue to be used for distribution of independent and alternative music artists. More mainstream p… |

Excerpt: Anything Goes Anything Goes is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter . The book was a collaborative effort by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse . The story concerns madcap antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. The musical introduced such songs as “Anything Goes ,” “You’re the Top ,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You .”Since its 1934 debut at the Neil Simon Theatre (at the time known as the Alvin ) on Broadway , the musical has been revived several times in the United States and Britain and has been filmed twice. The musical has long been a popular choice for school and community productions. History Anything Goes is a farce set below decks on an ocean liner bound for London from New York. The original idea came from producer Vinton Freedley, who was living on a boat, having left the US to avoid his creditors. He selected the writing team, and the star, Ethel Merman . The first draft of the show was called Crazy Week, which became Hard to Get, and finally Anything Goes. Hard to Get was set on a mid-ocean liner that was in danger, but, just a few weeks before the show was due to open, a fire on board the passenger ship SS Morro Castle caused the deaths of 137 |

Uncle Tupelo was born in the tiny railroad town of Belleville, IL, where high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy and Mike Heidorn started their mutual quest to blend their punk rock roots and their increasing fascination with the traditional songs and sounds of American roots music. With the exception of their fourth album, Anodyne, the Uncle Tupelo catalog has been out of print since Farrar and Tweedy’s successful bid to retrieve the rights to those recordings. Since then, die-hard fans have been left to scour used CD bins and the internet for original Uncle Tupelo CDs, bootleg shows and mythic studio outtakes. Until now. Beginning with Uncle Tupelo 83/93: An Anthology, Columbia/Legacy along with the band will reissue all of the Rockville Uncle Tupelo albums: No Depression, Still Feel Gone and March 16-20, 1992–all with stunningly remastered sound, amazing bonus tracks and expanded packing. So if you haven’t heard them–or maybe you’ve just heard of them–now’s the time to rediscover one of the most important bands of our time. |

A Band of Angels By Deborah Hopkinson, Illustrated by Raul Colon $7.99 <P><i>A Band of Angels</i> is fiction, but it is based on real events and people. The character of Ella was inspired by Ella Sheppard Moore, who was born February 4, 1851, in Nashville, Tennessee. Her father was able to free himself and young Ella from slavery, but before he could buy freedom for Ella’s mother she was sold away. Ella was raised in Cincinnati, where she took music lessons. At fifteen, she was left penniless when her father died. She arrived at Fisk School in 1868 with only six dollars.<P>Fisk was opened in 1866 as a school for former slaves and began offering college classes in 1871. That year, in a desperate attempt to save Fisk from closing, a music teacher named George White set out with a group of students on a singing tour to raise money. Although at first they only sang popular music of the day, they soon became famous for introducing spirituals to the world.<P>Ella Sheppard was the pianist for the Jubilee Singers on their historic concert tours, which raised enough money to save the school and build Jubilee Hall, the first permanent structure in the South for the education of black students. Ella later married George Moore, had three children, and located her mother and a sister. She died in 1914. Today her great-granddaughter is a librarian at Fisk University who shares the history of the Jubilee Singers with visitors.<P>Although none graduated from Fisk, the original Jubilee Singers were recognized with honorary degrees in 1978. Today, Jubilee Singers at Fisk University continue to keep alive a rich musical tradition that includes such songs as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Many Thousand Gone,” and “Go Down, Moses.” |

A Brief History Of St. Peter’s By-The-Sea Episcopal Church $11.27 Nancy J. Ricketts lives in the midst of her books overlooking her gardens on a quiet street in Sitka, Alaska. She walks to town, to the school and museum where she volunteers, to the two libraries and to church. She sings in the choir at St. Peter’s and frequently performs with the Sitka Recorder Society. A long-time member of the Society of American Archivists, Nancy bears the title of Archivist Emeritus. Sheldon Jackson College Library from which she is retired, Kettleson Library and Isabel Miller Museum house collections she has brought into being. She has written a number of documented histories of institutions such as the Sitka Summer Music Festival, and the Sitka Conservation Society.Pauline FredricksonA parish is always the home of wanderings that are the larger church. A parish history should call home those prodigals who have wandered elsewhere, bringing the history of the larger church along. Nancy Ricketts has done this very admirably for St. Peter’s By-the-Sea. She presents the results of her detailed and thorough research in a well-organized, pleasant to read, and very informative history. It is the story of how this small parish, planted in the Anglican tradition, has come to thrive as an expression of the Gospel. Nancy shows the movements of the Church reflected and inculturated by the people of the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. This is an excellent history of the parish, an informative document for scholarship, and an interesting story of Southeast Alaska, from the 19th to the 21st century. Fr. Gordon Blue St. Peter’s By-the-Sea |

A Collection Of Books By Dolly Sen $17.28 This is a collection of three books by Dolly Sen ISBN :978-1-84747-163-5Book oneTHE BOOK OF TORN UP SUICIDE NOTESBook twoTHE MAENAD ANGEL POETICSBook Three ECCENTRIC FISHAbout the AuthorDolly Sen was born on 23rd October 1970 in London, where she still lives. “I had my first psychotic experience aged 14 and stopped going to school. A series of dead end jobs followed. Pretty early on I decided I didn’t want any more of the 9-5 shit and spoon race, and began to write. and maybe watch 70s cop shows.”Dolly Sen is a writer, director, artist, film-maker, poet, performer, raconteur, playwright, mental health consultant, music-maker and public speaker. Since her much-acclaimed book ‘The World is Full of Laughter’ was published by Chipmunka in 2002, she has had 3 further books published, had a succession of performance roles around Europe and places like The Young Vic, Trafalgar Square and The Royal Festival Hall; did a poetry tour and won a poetry award from Andrew Motion; directed two plays and several films, appeared on TV, and has done spoken word at City Hall and Oxford University. This is staggering since she dropped out of school at 14 and has no formal qualifications. She has also had to share her life with severe mental health problems. She was told she would never amount to anything but would end up in jail or Broadmoor and she believed this and was on her way there when she changed her belief into the one of believing she could do anything she wanted to do. This proves that the mind is an amazing thing; it can drive you mad and inspire you in the same breath. And that you can do anything if you believe you can do it. |

A Cry from the Dark $1.99 Master of mystery Robert Barnard, internationally acclaimed for his suspenseful, witty literary gems, cleverly mixes past and present in A Cry from the Dark, an intriguing tour de force sweeping from 1930s Australia to contemporary London. Bettina Whitelaw has come a long way from her childhood in the little outback town of Bundaroo, Australia. Many years have passed, a lifetime really, but she’s never forgotten what happened there on the evening that changed her life forever.How could she forget the school dance, her taunting classmates, dancing with the strange but brilliant English boy, Hughie Naismyth? How could she forget what happened next, when, overheated and exhilarated by the music and the moment, she wandered off alone into a secluded, wooded area? Now a renowned, elderly author living in London’s elegant Holland Park, Bettina faces a flood of memories as she works on her memoirs, even though her focus is more on the frightening things that are happening today. Someone has recently entered her home and gone through her desk. The intruder is clearly not an ordinary burglar. It must be someone she knows. She’s been a little lax in handing out keys, so the suspects are many — her nephew, Mark; her agent, Clare; her friends, Peter or Katie. Or it could be someone else.What does Bettina possess that this person would want to steal? A puzzle that at first seems mildly disturbing soon turns deadly serious. Someone is willing to kill — but why? Does the answer rest in Bundaroo or nearer to home? A Cry from the Dark shows us vintage Robert Barnard as he slyly lays the clues that lead to his trademark surprise — and poignant — ending. |

A Defence Of Poetry, Music, And Stage-Plays (1853) $15.72 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:INTRODUCTION. As the present volume has only a partial reference to dramatic performances, it may very probably disappoint the expectations of some Members of the Shakespeare Society. It was however most desirable that the suppressed tract of Lodge, in answer to Gosson’s ” School of Abuse,” should be preserved in an accessible form; and, as it was too inconsiderable in bulk to appear by itself, it is accompanied with an accurate reprint of the earliest of the same author’s numerous publications, in which he protests against ” the unjust slander” with which he had been assailed by Gosson, in his later work, ” Playes confuted in Five Actions,” without date, but printed about the year 1582. This treatise, ” An Alarum against Usurers,” is in other respects not unworthy of notice, as it exposes the craft and subtlety of a class of men who are found in most countries, delineated by the author from his own observation, or, as his words might infer, his personal experience. It also furnishes an early specimen of that conversational style which De Foe has employed so effectively in his various fictitious narratives. Having obtained the use of the curious little volume of tracts relating to Stage Plays, which contains Lodge’s Reply to Gosson, and which was purchased at Heber’s sale (Part IV., No. 2,334) by the late William Henry Miller, Esq., of Craigentinny, with permission to have it transcribed for the use of the Shakespeare Society, I was led, somewhat incautiously, to undertake the editing of the present volume, instead of leaving it wholly in the more competent hands of Mr. Payne Colh’er, a gentleman to whom the Society is under such manifold obligations ; but with his friendly assistance, the task has not proved very arduous.
