At first consideration; it would seem that Shakespeare and Monty Python have very little in common other than that theyrsquo;re both English. Shakespeare wrote during the reign of a politically puissant Elizabeth; while Python flourished under an Elizabeth figurehead. Shakespeare wrote for rowdy theatre whereas Python toiled at a remove; for television. Shakespeare is The Bard; Python is-well-not. Despite all of these differences; Shakespeare and Monty are in fact related; this work considers both the differences and similarities between the two. It discusses Shakespearersquo;s status as Englandrsquo;s National Poet and Pythonrsquo;s similar elevation. It explores various aspects of theatricality (troupe configurations; casting and writing choices; allusions to classical literature) used by Shakespeare; Ben Jonson and Monty Python. It also covers the uses and abuses of history in Shakespeare and Python; humor; especially satire; in Shakespeare; Jonson; Dekker and Python; and the concept of the ldquo;Otherrdquo; in Shakespearean and Pythonesque creations.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. quite varied projectsBy I. ClarkPurchased for an architecture firms library. Will be a moderately useful reference; I expect. The houses featured vary enormously in materials and style; from rustic log homes to metal-sided buildings with extreme cantilevers. A few are quite large; and perhaps stretch the notion of "cabin." The only theme these houses have in common is that theyre in rural locations. The book is fine as a source for photos of different materials and types of interior space. Faint; but labeled floor plans are included; which is a plus.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Modern CabinBy Kindle CustomerThis was one of the better cabin books.
