"After spending several months in England, Erasmus returned to Paris in the winter of 1500 and set about compiling a small anthology of classical proverbs known as the Adagiorum collectanea. This ...modest work became the basis for one of Erasmus' best known and longest works, when it was expanded in 1508 into the far more substantial Adagiorum chiliades. The essay that begins this introductory volume to the Adages explores the development of the Collectanea and its transformation into the Adagiorum chiliades. It is followed by the first annotated translation into English of the Collectanea."--Publisher's description.
Actor training in the United States is inextricably linked to the inside-out style of Stanislavskian and descendant practices, which accesses story primarily through emotion and memory; British ...training tends to access story more through the technical aspects of text and voice; transnational, movement-based work, pioneered by Rudolf Laban, and Anne Bogart and Tina Landau, capitalizes on the spatial and temporal elements of the body and performance space. See also: 'Don't count your chickens till they hatch'; 'Nothing is set in stone'", despite the fact that these proverbs are not exact analogues to one another.10 While these correlations demonstrate the general gist of the original proverb, they also exemplify how easy it can be to create the false synonymy Spevack warns against (101). ...this type of note does not form a complete, performance-oriented annotation because actors cannot play a phrase by thinking of its correlated citations or textual authority. The bulk of proverbial sententiae indicates a pervasive belief that looks are deceiving. ...either Duncan is a king operating without this piece of common knowledge, or he ignored it in his relationship with Cawdor. Some notes illuminate only the literary irony, not the dramatic function: "Immediately preceding the welcoming 'O worthiest cousin,' this is a fine stroke of dramatic irony, underlined by Duncan's eager generosity of praise" (Wilson, 1.4.11-14n); "This celebrated passage has been almost universally recognized, and justly so, as a consummate stroke of dramatic art" (Cunningham, 1.4.11-14n); "The irony of the speech is pointed by the immediate entrance of Macbeth, as critics have observed" (Muir 1.4.11-12n).15 This sort of annotation focuses on effect rather than cause, prioritizing how the audience interprets the entire dramatic situation over the individual actions that create the drama.
This book focuses on the zoological, literary, and conceptual aspects of animal imageries in Proverbs. Discussions of each animal's characteristics introduce analyses of the accompanying imageries' ...relationship to their literary setting and their rhetorical function within the worldview of Proverbs.
