skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (elizabeth book)
The post I meant to make this morning, or yesterday, or whichever: part two!

When I saw we had The Revenger's Tragedy (by Thomas Middleton or Cyril Tourneur, depending on who you ask) assigned for class, all I knew about it was the rendition that's described in Tam Lin. Since then, I've read the play, reread the Tam Lin performance, and seen the film, so I've got three versions jangling about in my head, and it's very odd.

First, Expandthe play itself )

Meanwhile, Expandthe movie version )

So after reading Revenger's Tragedy, I followed that up with the reading for my other class, Matthew Lewis' Gothic novel ExpandThe Monk. )

At this point, I was really feeling the need to read something that did not end with half the cast dying tragically. Fortunately, anticipating this, I had packed light and fluffy: Georgette Heyer's ExpandThe Unknown Ajax. )

And if you read through all that babble and still have the patience to comment on something, you should get a prize.
