Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A beautifully illustrated art history and cultural biography, The Street of Wonderful Possibilities focuses on one of the most influential artistic quarters in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries London' s Tite Street, where a staggering amount of talent thrived, including James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Oscar Wilde and John Singer Sargent.For Wilde, the street was full of wonderful possibilities' , while for Whistler it was the birthplace of art' , where a new brand of aestheticism was nurtured in his controversial White House.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. From long-haired Fleshly Poets to intense, ultra pre-Raphaelite artists, few stylistic movements in the history of art and literature have provoked the imagination and indignation of British playwrights as much as the Aesthetic Movement.During an intense and short-lived period from 1877 to 1881, the London stage saw fierce competition as playwrights and theatre managers raced to capture the zeitgeist, capitalizing on the unorthodox, eccentric and highly theatrical proponents of the Aesthetic Movement. The quite too utterly utter Apostles of this new school were satirized to such an extent that the Illustrated London News (1881) complained that the London stage was thickly sown over with a crop of lilies and sunflowers, with aesthetes in every burlesque and comic opera produced. This edited volume brings the four key plays satirizing the Aesthetic Movement together for the first time in an easily accessible format, allowing scholars and students to discover their secrets:The Grasshopper by John Hollingshead (Gaiety Theatre, 1877)Wheres The Cat? by James Albery (Criterion, 1880)The Colonel by F.C. Burnand (Prince of Waless Theatre, 1881) Patience by W.S. Gilbert (Opera Comique/Savoy, 1881)Including a brief introduction by Dr. Devon Cox, providing background and context to the dynamic, symbiotic relationship between the Aesthetic Movement and the British stage, and complete with biographical notes and an introduction to each play, Aesthetic Movement Satire: A Dramatic Anthology shines a light on this explosive flashpoint in British Theatre "A volume of four plays satirizing the key figures of the Aesthetic Movement from 1877 to 1881"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
