Descriere magazin:
\'The most Pirandellish thing that ever existed\' or else \'a wild farrago of reasonless absurdity\': James Agate was unable to decide. But \'The Knight of The Burning Pestle\' is both. It is a carnival celebration of London life and London theatre in which Francis Beaumont\'s comic genius is given free rein. A grocer, his wife and their two apprentices attending the theatre in holiday mood interrupt and finally replace a fatuous love comedy with their own heart\'s desire: exotic spectacle and sound English sentiment. This edition presents an accurate modern-spelling text, the first since 1908 to offer the reader a full historical and critical introduction and a detailed commentary. The Introduction analyses the character of Beaumont\'s wit and his unsentimental critique of society and of society\'s stage image. It locates the symbolic action of the play in the triumph of festival over \'high\' art, of audience over professional. In addition, the introduction places \'The Knight\' in the contexts of Jacobean comedy and the work of the children\'s theatrical troupes. An appendix on the songs and a concern for details of production should make this edition especially useful to actors and directors. About author(s): Sheldon P. Zitner is Professor of English at Trinity College, University of Toronto
