It's Showtime in Rochester
Live theatre came to Rochester, New York early in the community’s history – 1824 to be exact. Unlike many cities its size, the thrill of the limelight never left Rochester. The city still has many thriving amateur and professional troupes. Over the decades, author and historian Donovan Shilling has amassed an amazing collection of theatre memorabilia, including posters, advertisements, photos and more. In this book, he shares the cream of the crop with you. This photographic and descriptive review provides a rare glimpse into the times and places that brought actors and audiences together for a time of distraction and fantasy.
Styles of Creation
The impetus behind this collection of original essays is the tension between the aesthetic emphasis on stylistics in science fiction and fantasy writing and the critical limitations imposed by prevailing literary theory. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors show how a new, or expanded, set of methods and models can enrich critical exchange within the genre and between it and other types of fiction. The focus of the book is not entirely on critical restraints but also on the genre's robustly subversive, creative drive--its unwillingness or inability to pause for critical validation. The essays examine the proliferation of stylistic acts and experiments in science fiction and fantasy writing as assess the genre's revolutionary qualities: its reordering of narrative priorities, inversion of consecrated categories, and elevation of "minor" devices.
