English Dramatic Interludes, 1300–1580

A Reference Guide

By: Darryll Grantley

Darryll Grantley has created a comprehensive guide to the interlude: the extant non-cycle drama in English from the late fourteenth century up to the period in which the London commercial theatre began. As precursors of seventeenth-century drama, not only do these interludes shed important light on the technical and literary development of Shakespearean theatre, but many are also works of considerable theatrical or cultural interest in themselves. This accessible reference guide provides an entry for each of the extant interludes and fragments (c.100) typically containing an account of early editions or manuscripts; authorship and sources; modern editions; plot summary and dramatis personae; list of social issues present in the plays; verbal and dramaturgical features; songs and music; allusions and place names; stage directions and comments on staging; and modern productions, among other valuable and informative details. There are full bibliographies, indexes of characters and songs, and appendices.

London in Early Modern English Drama

Representing the Built Environment

By: D. Grantley

This book explores the changing representation on the early modern stage of the built environment of London. It covers a period in which the city underwent rapid growth to become the country's first metropolis, and it examines how the urban environment becomes part of the frame of reference of the drama that is set there.

Historical Dictionary of British Theatre

Early Period

By: Darryll Grantley

British theatre has a greater tradition than any other, having started all the way back in 1311 and still going strong today. But that is too much for one book to cover, so this volume deals with early theatre and has a cut-off date in 1899. Still, this is almost six centuries, centuries during which British theatre not only developed but produced some of the greatest playwrights of all time and anywhere, including obviously Shakespeare but also Marlowe and Shaw. And they wrote some of the finest plays ever, which are known around the world. So there is plenty for this book to cover, just with the playwrights, plays and actors, but it also has information on stagecraft and theatres, as well as the historical and political background. This book has over 1,183 entries in the dictionary section, these being mainly on playwrights and plays, but others as well including managers and critics, and also on specific theatres, legislative acts and some technical jargon. Then there are entries on the different genres, from comedy to tragedy and everything in between. Inevitably, the chronology is quite long as it has a long period to cover and the introduction provides the necessary overview. The Historical Dictionary of Early British Theatre concludes with a pretty massive bibliography. That will be of use to particularly assiduous researchers, but this book itself is a good place to start any research since it covers periods that are far less well-known and documented, and ordinary theatre-goers will also find useful information.

Biblical Criticism in Early Modern Europe

By: Grantley McDonald

This book explores the explosive social and political implications of Erasmus' philological work on the Greek New Testament. When Erasmus (1516) failed to find Greek manuscript evidence for the 'Johannine comma', long considered the clearest biblical evidence for the Trinity, he unwittingly opened a vicious debate over the nature of the bible, its relationship with doctrine, and the role of the state in regulating private belief.

The Andrew Gaze Story

A Kid, a Ball, a Dream

By: Andrew Gaze,Grantley Bernard

From the moment Andrew Gaze picked up a basketball at the age of three, his fate was sealed - he would be the greatest player Australia had ever seen. Under the watchful eye of dad Lindsay a champion player and coach in his own right, Andrew debuted with the Melbourne Tigers at sixteen, going on to play in the elite American NBA, rubbing shoulders with the likes of 'Magic' Johnson and winning a championship with the San Antonio Spurs. Throughout, his extraordinary ability was matched only by his sportsmanship, qualities that afforded him the thrill of flag bearer at Sydney 2000, and the honour of 2004 Victorian of the Year Here revealed for the first time, are the highs and lows of a sensational career and an inspiring life. (From back cover).

Bruce the Bookie

By: Lindsay Gaze,Grantley Bernard

Bruce Johnstone seems to have lived many lives: farm hand, fruit picker, navy seaman, real estate agent, insurance agent, publican, SP bookie, two-up operator, jail inmate, confidante and friend to sporting stars and underworld figures. Actually, Bruce Johnstone only lived a few of those lives. Bruce The Bookie lived them all as one of Melbourne's most well-known, well-connected and well-liked SP bookies and two-up operators. In Bruce The Bookie - A Real Life Story of Gambling, Sport and the Underworld, you will take a colourful trip with a colourful character as he runs from punters with guns and the police, builds successful legitimate business, but still has a hankering for illegal SP bookmaking. You will get some inside information on The Great Bookie Robbery, learn how Bruce's debt collector got away with murder only to meet his own grizzly ending, and experience jail from the inside, where Bruce The Bookie still managed to operate. Bruce The Bookie - A Real Life Story of Gambling, Sport and the Underworld is part memoir, part real-life adventure as he challenges authority, rubs shoulders with the famous and infamous, including Great Train Robber Ronald Biggs and the last man hanged in Victoria, Ronald Ryan. Bruce The Bookie - A Real Life Story of Gambling, Sport and the Underworld is an entertaining read that will have you chuckling and shaking your head at the same time, wondering how one man could achieve and cram so much into one life.
