Owning Performance | Performing Ownership: Literary Property and the Eighteenth-Century British Stage
by Jane WesselIn 1710, England’s first copyright law gave authors the ability to own their works, but it was not until 1833 that literary property law was extended to protect dramatic performance. Between these dates, generations of playwrights grappled for control over their intellectual property in a cultural and legal environment that treated print differently from performance. As ownership became a central concern for many, actors fought to possess their dramatic parts exclusively, playwrights struggled to control and profit from repeat performances of their works, and managers tried to gain a monopoly over the performance of profitable plays. Owning Performance follows the careers of some of the 18th century’s most influential playwrights, actors, and theater managers as they vied for control over the period’s most popular shows. Without protection for dramatic literary property, these figures developed creative extra-legal strategies for controlling the performance of drama—quite literally performing their ownership. Their various strategies resulted in a culture of ephemerality, with many of the period’s most popular works existing only in performance and manuscript copies. Author Jane Wessel explores how playwrights and actors developed strategies for owning their works and how, in turn, theater managers appropriated these strategies, putting constant pressure on artists to innovate. Owning Performance reveals the wide-reaching effects of property law on theatrical culture, tracing a turn away from print that affected the circulation, preservation, and legacy of 18th century drama.
Owning William Shakespeare
by James J. MarinoCopyright is by no means the only device for asserting ownership of a work. Some writers, including playwrights in the early modern period, did not even view print copyright as the most important of their authorial rights. A rich vein of recent scholarship has examined the interaction between royal monopolies, which have been identified with later notions of intrinsic authorial ownership, and the internal copy registration practices of the English book trades. Yet this dialogue was but one part of a still more complicated conversation in early modern England, James J. Marino argues; other customs and other sets of professional demands were at least as important, most strikingly in the exercise of the performance rights of plays.In Owning William Shakespeare James Marino explores the actors' system of intellectual property as something fundamentally different from the property regimes exercised by the London printers or the royal monopolists. Focusing on Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, King Lear, and other works, he demonstrates how Shakespeare's acting company asserted ownership of its plays through intense rewriting combined with progressively insistent attribution to Shakespeare. The familiar versions of these plays were created through ongoing revision in the theater, a process that did not necessarily begin with Shakespeare's original manuscript or end when he died. An ascription by the company of any play to "Shakespeare" did not imply that it was following a fixed, authorial text; rather, Marino writes, it indicates an attempt to maintain exclusive control over a set of open-ended, theatrically revised scripts.Combining theater history, textual studies, and literary theory, Owning William Shakespeare rethinks both the way Shakespeare's plays were created and the way they came to be known as his. It overturns a century of scholarship aimed at re-creating the playwright's lost manuscripts, focusing instead on the way the plays continued to live and grow onstage.

Oxopetra Elegies
by David Connolly Odysseas ElytesFirst Published in 1997. 'Geographically speaking 'Oxopetra' is a promontory on the island of Astypalaea. It is the 'other rock'. For me, it is the farthest point of the land in the sea, the farthest point of our era in another era, and the farthest point of my life in death... Odysseus Elytis.' Odysseus Elytis was born in Crete in 1911 and published the first of his poems in 1935. He was influenced by French Surrealism and travelled widely, and in post-war years lived in France with many other leading poets and artists of his generation. In 1979 he was awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature. The Oxopetra Elegies is a recent collection and is considered by many Greek critics to contain some of the finest and most important poems he has ever written. The Greek Poetry Archive features monographs on key modern Greek poets, from the nineteenth century to the present, and a bilingual collection of their poetry translated into English.

Oz behind the Iron Curtain: Aleksandr Volkov and His Magic Land Series (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Erika HaberRecipient of the 2018 Outstanding Faculty Research Achievement Award in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at Syracuse UniversityIn 1939, Aleksandr Volkov (1891-1977) published Wizard of the Emerald City, a revised version of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Only a line on the copyright page explained the book as a "reworking" of the American story. Readers credited Volkov as author rather than translator. Volkov, an unknown and inexperienced author before World War II, tried to break into the politically charged field of Soviet children's literature with an American fairy tale. During the height of Stalin's purges, Volkov adapted and published this fairy tale in the Soviet Union despite enormous, sometimes deadly, obstacles.Marketed as Volkov's original work, Wizard of the Emerald City spawned a series that was translated into more than a dozen languages and became a staple of Soviet popular culture, not unlike Baum's fourteen-volume Oz series in the United States. Volkov's books inspired a television series, plays, films, musicals, animated cartoons, and a museum. Today, children's authors and fans continue to add volumes to the Magic Land series. Several generations of Soviet Russian and Eastern European children grew up with Volkov's writings, yet know little about the author and even less about his American source, L. Frank Baum. Most Americans have never heard of Volkov and know nothing of his impact in the Soviet Union, and those who do know of him regard his efforts as plagiarism.Erika Haber demonstrates how the works of both Baum and Volkov evolved from being popular children's literature and became compelling and enduring cultural icons in both the US and USSR/Russia, despite being dismissed and ignored by critics, scholars, and librarians for many years.
Oídos que no ven: Contra la idea de música intelectual
by Mariano Peyrou TubertUna mirada divertida y reveladora sobre la música que invita a la escucha libre, desprejuiciada y mucho más placentera de cualquier género musical. Este libro derriba con gracia y brillantez una idea que a menudo nos impide disfrutar abiertamente de ciertos géneros y obras: la idea de «música intelectual», que tan a menudo se interpone entre el oyente y el placer de la escucha. Además, ofrece algunas claves para que cualquiera pueda adentrarse en ciertas músicas supuestamente más impenetrables. Con un tono cercano, por medio de anécdotas divertidas y reveladoras y empleando un enfoque completamente alejado de lo académico, Peyrou plantea una serie de argumentos en contra de la noción de que ciertos estilos exigen una escucha intelectualizada. El libro, no obstante, desborda ese objetivo y se convierte en una lección sobre cómo funciona la música: cómo piensan los compositores y qué deseos los guían, en qué consiste la innovación y por qué encuentra tanta resistencia entre el público, qué tienen en común los diversos géneros y qué los diferencia, qué actitud es la más adecuada por parte de los oyentes. Relacionando músicas muy variadas (clásica y contemporánea, popular y folclórica, jazz, rock) pero también ideas procedentes del arte, la literatura, la filosofía y la antropología, el autor traza conexiones sorprendentes y propone una manera diferente de escuchar. La crítica ha dicho: «Libro a libro, ha renovado los modos del lenguaje y los enfoques de la mirada de una obra poética y narrativa tan personal como extrañamente prodigiosa».ANTONIO ORTEGA, Babelia «Esas raras veces en que el ingenio se acompaña de sustancia, el resultado puede ser fascinante. En ese momento es cuando yo dejo de llamarlo "ingenio" y lo llamo "talento"».SARA MESA, Estado Crítico «Su sentido del humor y su controlado gusto por la broma lingüística adquieren un feliz tono propio».NADAL SUAU, El Cultural «Innovador, ácido, lúdico, lúcido».ÁNGELES LÓPEZ, La Razón «Uno de nuestros grandes poetas del lenguaje».VICENTE LUIS MORA, Diario de Lecturas «Mariano Peyrou me parece un excelente escritor».JOSÉ MARÍA GUELBENZU «Una de las escrituras más personales y sorprendentes del panorama actual».LUIS BAGUÉ QUÍLEZ, Babelia «Uno de los narradores españoles más inteligentes en el juego con el lenguaje».EUGENIO FUENTES, La Nueva España «Dan ganas de anunciarle al lector que esto no es una novela. ¿Y esto es bueno o malo? En el caso del autor madrileño, es bueno. Muy bueno. Endiabladamente inteligente».J. ERNESTO AYALA-DIP, Babelia, sobre Los nombres de las cosas «Son muchas las cuestiones existenciales y artísticas que plantea Delos otros. Impulsada por un estilo introspectivo, con derivas en el flujo de la conciencia y diálogos con frases inconclusas. Peyrou sobrecoge al lector».FRANCISCO SOLANO, Babelia «Peyrou da rienda suelta a su aventura lingüística sin que la vanguardia desemboque jamás en gratuidad».JUAN ANDRÉS GARCÍA ROMÁN, Babab «No es una novela de humor, y sin embargo es divertida como pocas que haya leído en los últimos años».JUAN MARQUÉS, La Esfera de Papel, sobre Los nombres de las cosas

P.W. Joyce and the Educational Shaping of the Emerging Irish Nation, 1827-1914 (Historical Studies in Education)
by Tom O'Donoghue Teresa O'Doherty Liam O’ConnorThis book provides an exposition on the professional and cultural life of Patrick Weston Joyce (1827–1914), more popularly known as P. W. Joyce, who lived and worked during the final phase of British rule in Ireland. The focus throughout is very much on how family, locale, and schooling influenced this significant Irish patriot, polymath, and pioneering pedagogue who worked across a range of disciplines, including education, language, history, and music. Moreover, attention is paid to how his achievements were possible only because of the variety of leading roles he played in the development of the Irish National School System between 1845 and 1893. Thus positioned, Joyce was in many ways a significant choreographer of a slow revolution in which education, in both formal and informal settings, was used to educate the Irish people regarding their cultural heritage.
