Lawner Lynne.
HARLEQUIN ON THE MOON: COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE AND THE VISUAL ARTS.
New York: Harry N. Abrams 1998. 208 pp 4to 11 1/4" H. Profusely illustrated in colour and b&w. "Commedia dell'arte is the first modern theater - inspiration to Shakespeare Moliere Goldoni Mozart and Balanchine and forerunner of the modern stage comedy. Since its invention as a popular entertainment in Renaissance Italy commedia with its stock characters its absurd and witty plots and its utterly charming personalities has captivated audiences high and low from the street fairs where Punch and Judy reigned to the exquisitely refined court of the Sun King. This book traces the history of commedia from its beginnings through many transformations to its rediscovery in the experimental theater of today. The depictions of commedia in the visual arts has a rich history. From Tiepolo and Watteau to Beardsley Picasso Hockney and other modern masters painters have found great resonance and meaning in the clowns and lovers of commedia. Here the visual and dramatic arts meet giving birth to styles of art and performance at once clever hilarious poignant tragic and eternal. Lynne Lawner traces all these threads unearthing rare texts of commedia plays discovering myriad version of the ever-fascinating Harlequin Pierrot Columbine and Pulcinella relating the gossip of courts and theaters and revealing the ways in which these figures and their classic stories - the sly servant the foolish soldier the clever maid the quack doctor - have arisen again and again in art." Light waviness to edges of text block. Dust jacket has very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds. . Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Harry N. Abrams Hardcover

Findley Timothy.
ELIZABETH REX.
Winnipeg MB: Blizzard 2000. 79 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. "In this daring and original play Timothy Findley brings together none other than William Shakespeare and the formidable Virgin Queen Elizabeth I. What makes a man a man and a woman a woman Late at night on the eve of her former lover's execution this is the very question Queen Elizabeth wrestles with as she descends to the stable lodgings of Shakespeare's players. Her unexpected arrival disturbs the playwright and his actors and provokes the rapier-sharp haughty indifference of Ned Shakespeare's genius performer of women's roles - himself now aged ill and facing his mortality. In their vitriolic confrontation the actor the playwright and the queen come to startling revelations about sex identity humanity and love." Dust jacket has very minor edge wrinkling. .

Weinberg Robert.
HORROR OF THE 20TH CENTURY: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY.
Portland OR: Collectors Press 2000. 256 pp folio 13/14" H. Profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "As long as there have been storytellers audiences have sought stories that make their flesh creep and their blood curdle - stories that slither into the darkest corners of our psyches. These are the tales that have been read furtively under covers or retold in whispers by the light of campfires. From Horace Walpole to Stephen King the masters of horror have offered us just such tales of the eerie and the spectral. Author Robert Weinberg has assembled the best of these phantasmal visions. Here is a vivid recounting of the writers illustrators publishers actors and filmmakers who for more than two centuries have fed our hunger for the macabre. As a student of the field whose collection of 25000 genre-related materials is among the finest worldwide Weinberg is a uniquely qualified writer whose perspectives span the spectrum of horror. This book begins with English author Horace Walpole who in 1765 gave birth to the Gothic novel 'The Castle of Otranto'. Mary Shelley plundered new depths of darkness with 'Frankenstein' and late nineteenth-century readers feasted voraciously on Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw'. Washington Irving Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne each cast their unique spell on tales of the weird. As the modern era unfolded horror has crept howled and slimed its way into the twentieth century on celluloid and paper and Weinberg reveiws the silents and talkies the comics the paperbacks and hardcovers - including such haunting and immortal creations as Frankenstein Dracula and 'The Phantom of the Opera'." Light wear at top/bottom of spine and at corners minor bump at bottom of rear hinge. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds two tiny bumps on front hinge. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Collectors Press Hardcover
