The hilarious Latino comedy theater company has toured the United States poking fun at all, from political figures to Latino entertainment personalities. Formed in 1988 and performing at such mainstream venues as the Los Angeles Theater Center as well as alternative space sin barrios across the Southwest, Latins Anonymous has developed its own distinctive, post-modern and very irreverent style of commenting on life and culture in the U.S. Included in this first published collection are the troupeÕs signature play, Latins Anonymous, which satirizes the rejection of oneÕs cultural heritage and The La La Awards, in which the media are lampooned through outlandish impersonations of favorite Latino stars.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This Element Paratext printed with new English plays has a lot to tell us about what playwrights were attempting to do and how audiences responded, thereby contributing substantially to our understanding of larger patterns of generic evolution across two centuries. The presence (or absence) of twelve elements needs to be systematically surveyed. (1) Attribution of authorship; (2) generic designation; (3) performance auspices; (4) government license authorizing publication; (5) dedication; (6) prefaces of various sorts; (7a-b-c) list of characters (three types); (8) actors' names (sometimes with descriptive characterizations-very helpful for deducing intended authorial interpretation); (9) location of action; (10) prologue and epilogue for first production. Surveying these results, we can see that much of the generic evolution traceable in the later seventeenth century gets undone during the eighteenth-a reversal largely attributable to the Licensing Act of 1737. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Surveying the development and varieties of blank verse in the English playhouses, this book is a natural history of iambic pentameter in English. Marina Tarlinskaja’s statistical analysis of versification focuses on Shakespeare, but places his work in the literary context of the times. Her results offer new ways to think about the dating of plays, the attribution of anonymous texts, and how collaborators divided their task in co-authored dramas.
