Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the historical evolution of Bangzi opera, also known as Clapper opera, now collectively referred to as Hebei Bangzi. This form of Chinese opera enjoyed significant popularity primarily in Beijing and Tianjin during the four decades from 1900 to the 1930s, which were marked as a pivotal era in the transformation and evolution of traditional Chinese society, with significant cultural progress.This book unpacks the important shifts that occurred in drama, encompassing industry changes, genre evolution, advances in the performing arts, and literary transformations within the theater.Bangzi opera is shown as one of the earliest genres to cultivate professional female actors and troupes in the early twentieth century, seeing the establishment of unique female singing and acting techniques, but also the creation of numerous new plays that mirrored thezeitgeistand commented on prevailing social conditions. Particularly noteworthy were works focusing on women and families, which broke away from traditional narrative content and pioneered new story genres. The book shows that, despite their disadvantaged status as women, the female actors who played in these performances demonstrated remarkable resilience, performing on stage in an era of political repression and warlordism. Through this history of Bangzi opera, the book offers a compelling narrative of female actors who overcame social constraints to become leading figures on the stage in early twentieth-century Beijing. It is relevant to Chinese historians, gender studies scholars, and theater and performance scholars with a particular interest in the history of opera, from East to West.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Easter Rising of 1916 had a lasting effect upon Ireland, with many viewing it as a watershed in the history of modern Ireland and concurring with Yeats that a «terrible beauty was born». Seeking to clarify the state of nationalist opinion in the period before the Rising, Genesis of the Rising is as much an undertaking in social psychology as it is a social and political history. It strives to debunk many longstanding theories, most significantly the turning of the tide thesis, which asserts that British blunders in the wake of the failed Rising turned the tide in public opinion toward the course envisioned by the Rebels. Genesis of the Rising contends that as early as 1912, with the introduction of the Third Home Rule Bill, through the start of the Great War, and right up to Easter 1916, the tide in nationalist opinion had been turning, albeit silently, and that the Rising was a catalytic force that accelerated an already ongoing process. It reveals a dichotomy in nationalist opinion between covert views and misleading, overt opinion when it suggests that it was the Rising and the executions that subsequently forced nationalist opinion to show its true colors. In effect, the tide had begun to turn long before Easter 1916; and constitutional nationalism, as represented by the Third Home Rule Bill and the Irish Parliamentary Party, was giving way to some aspect of physical-force nationalism.…
