Bibliography

Adams, John C. The Globe Playhouse. 2nd ed. New York: Barnes & Nobel, 1964. Print. The        main purpose of this book was to create an in-depth understanding of The Globe            
   Playhouse design and purposes. The entire book was dedicated to the building and its 
   history, rather than just a paragraph in a history book. The intended audience was the 
   researcher. This book was created for someone who wants to get a more in-depth look 
   at the Globe Theater. This was very useful to my project because we visited the Globe 
   Theater on our time tour. It went above my expectations because there was so much 
   information I couldn’t get very much of it into my project. The most helpful part of this 
   work was the statistics about how many people the Globe Theater could hold. The author 
   was a very reliable source, he was doctor and had painstakingly researched all of the 
   information that is found in the book. The author concluded that the Globe Theater was 
   the most popular of all the Elizabethan Theaters, and that is why he felt the need to   
   write a book about it. I observed that there was a lot more to the Globe Theater than I 
   had previously learned in my high school drama classes. 

Aristotle, and Benjamin Jowett. Politics; Poetics. New York: Grolier, 1978. Print. The main 
   focus of this work was to describe and explain poetics and politics. I think Aristotle 
   wanted everyone to read his book. This was relevant to my project because we 
   “interviewed” Aristotle and I needed to know how he talked, what he talked about, and 
   other facts surrounding him. The way the book was separated throughout his ideas    
   made it easier to understand his points. Aristotle is a very credible author when I am 
   trying to gather information about him. He concluded many things, but the most 
   important to me was that of his poetics the six elements of theater. I found that he is a 
   very learned man who can also be hard to understand. 

Brockett, Oscar Gross. History of the theatre. 5th ed. Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1987. Print.
   The main focus of this book was to give a thorough look at the history of theater. The 
   intended audience for this book was anyone who was researching theater. This book 
   was very useful and relevant to my topic. It gave me added information to the text book 
   and gave me ideas for further research. The author is very credible. He is professor who 
   researched all of the information in the book. The author didn’t reach any conclusions, so 
   much as state facts. This helped me conclude that theater is broad and oftentimes can be 
   interpreted differently.

Brown, John R., ed. The Oxford Illustrated History of Theatre. Oxford: Oxford UP, 1995. 
   Print. The main focus of this book to give the unique cultural experiences of theater both 
   past and present. This book was very relevant to my time tour because it gave me, not 
   only an overview of all things theater so I could research them more in-depth; it also had 
   great illustrations to help me understand aspects of theater. The book was a completion 
   of a team of author’s works, and each of the team members was accredited to be 
   researching theater for a book. The authors helped me gain understanding about theater 
   so I could research items further.

Derek L. Penwell. "Education in the Virtues: Tragic Emotions and the Artistic Imagination." 
   The Journal of Aesthetic Education 43.4 (2009): 9-31. Project MUSE. 29 Dec. 2009 
   <http://muse.jhu.edu/>. The main focus of this article was to compare Aristotle and Plato 
   and to examine the moral values of emotion. The intended audience for this work is 
   researchers looking to gather more information on Aristotle and Plato. This information 
   was not that useful to my project and did not meet my expectations. It was nice to see a 
   little more clearly Aristotle’s emotions, but it was more relevant for me to read Aristotle’s 
   works, not someone’s interpretations of them. The author was a researcher who was 
   able to get important information for the article, the information just wasn’t important to 
   my research. In the end, I realized there is a lot more to Plato and Aristotle that  history 
   books say, and it would be nice to further delve into this information.

"Greek / Stamnos (Wine Jar) / High Classical Period, C. 450 B.C." David Rumsey Historical 
   Map Collection | The Collection. Web. 11 Mar. 2010. 
   <http://www.davidrumsey.com/amica/amico292672-4548.html>. This was a Stamnos, or 
   a whine jar, from the era of the Dionysus Theater. This piece was intended for the 
   Greeks, but now it is available for all to view. This art was very useful to my project. I 
   could include it on my tour to allow my “clients” to see what the art was like from that 
   time period. The drawings on the jar were helpful because I was able to tell my clients 
   that the jars were the main type of art in Grecian times. I was able to conclude that art is 
   important to understand history because you are able to see what was important to 
   people at that time.

Grene, David, and Richmond Alexander Lattimore. Greek Tragedies, Volume 1. Chicago: 
   University of Chicago, 1968. Print. This book was filled with Greek Tragedies written by 
   Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The main focus of this work was to put these plays  
   in one location for the reader. This was very useful to my topic because we traveled back 
   in time to Greece and I needed to know what theater was like during that time. While I 
   didn’t use much of it, it did meet my expectations. I was able to glean a taste of the 
   written word that was present during that era. The authors were from the time period, 
   which was exactly what I was looking for in this project. I concluded that these men were 
   amazing writers and through their works I was able to understand the type of writing a 
   little more to use in creating my time tour. 

"Hrosvitha." TheatreHistory.com. Web. 10 Mar. 2010. 
   <http://www.theatrehistory.com/medieval/hrosvitha001.html>. This website had 
   background information about Hrosvitha and was created to give an overview of her life. 
   It was intended for everyone looking to know a little bit more about Hrosvitha. This was 
   useful because I was able to get an overview on Hrosvitha. She was a hard person to 
   research, so any small amount of information to guide my research was important. The 
   authors had links to where they had gathered their information, so I know they had cited 
   their source. Through this website I was able to gain an understanding about her writing 
   more so than in other sources I had looked at.

"The Internet Classics Archive | Oedipus the King by Sophocles." The Internet Classics 
   Archive: 441 Searchable Works of Classical Literature. Web. 02 Mar. 2010. 
   <http://classics.mit.edu/Sophocles/oedipus.html>. This was the entire play of Oedipus the    King, which was very important to my work. The intended audience was anyone who 
   wanted to read the play to gain an understanding about this timeless piece of fiction. 
   This was important to my research because I wanted to include the written manuscript of 
   this play in my time tour so those who are going on my tour can read it if they want. The 
   fact that I was able to find the entire script was amazing; it was great to read a play by 
   Sophocles. Sophocles helps the reader understand Aristotle’s six elements of theater 
   better. This work helped me understand the writing from this time period so I could gain 
   the appreciation of him that I needed to have in order to do this time tour.  

Kitto, H.D. F., trans. Sophocles: Three Tragedies. New York: Oxford UP, 1962. Print. These 
   three tragedies by Sophocles were written to be performed in the time of ancient Greece. 
   They were important to my time tour because reading them helped me understand 
   tragedy better. I did a writing class on tragedy and I needed to have read a tragedy to 
   help my clients write a tragedy. Because Sophocles is the author of the book and I 
   wanted to understand his writing, he was very credible. In the end, I was able to 
   conclude that we are lucky in this day and age to have this author to teach us about 
   Tragedy and help us understand its importance.

Landia, Paul, ed. Four Famous Greek Plays. New York: Random House, 1929. Print. These 
   four tragedies by Greek authors were plays. The main focus of them was to create 
   something that could be acted out on the stage. The main reason this book was 
   important is because it included Media, a play that wasn’t in any of the other play books I 
   used. Though I didn’t talk about this play very much, Media is an important play in 
   understanding tragedy. The way this book was laid out was very helpful in 
   understanding and in catching a lot of the rhymes. The conclusion the author reaches is 
   that man is good to be able to overcome such tragedies. I decided that I am glad that I 
   am not a character in these plays. 

Marples, Morris. "Plautus." Greece and Rome 8.22 (1938): 1-7. JSTOR. Web. 25 Feb. 2010. 
   <http://www.jstor.org/stable/642107>. The purpose of this article was to explain Plautus 
   and give a history of him. The intended audience of the work was those looking to 
   understand Plautus at a more in-depth level. This was very useful to my time tour 
   because I had a “Q&A” session with Plautus and I needed to understand background 
   information about him so I could “answer” as if I were Plautus. The author was able to 
   conclude that Plautus was an amazing man who is still studied and even replicated   
   today. I concluded that he must have been an amazing writer if Shakespeare even based 
   one of his plays off of a Plautus play. 

McKeon, Richard, ed. The Basic Works of Aristotle. New York: Random House, 1941.  Print. 
   This book was written by Aristotle and included not only his Politics and Poetics, but his 
   History too. The purpose of this book was to get Aristotle’s thoughts and views into a 
   medium where it could be read by many. The intended audience was everyone. Because 
   I was researching Aristotle, a book that was written by him was very credible to by time 
   tour. Who better to teach me about Aristotle than Aristotle himself? This book was 
   written in a more confusing way, but I got some great quotes that I was able to use in 
   my project. 

Oates, Whitney J., and Eugene O'Neil Jr., eds. The Complete Greek Drama. Vol. 1. New        
   York: Random House, 1938. Print. This book had the complete Greek Drama, including 
   those less well known, like Menander. This book was not as used as the other Greek 
   books, but it definitely had some useful passages that were helpful in understanding 
   Greek theater. This book was intended for everyone. The most useful part of this book 
   was the glossary that explained and defined terms that were unknown to me because I 
   am not a Greek philosopher.

Oates, Whitney J., and Eugene O'Neil Jr., eds. The Complete Greek Drama. Vol. 2. New        
   York: Random House, 1938. Print. This is the second volume of the Greek drama book. 
   While they were basically the same, this book had more information on the Greek theater 
   itself, which was very helpful to me because we toured a Greek Theater on our tour. In 
   this book, the pictures and the new introduction was the most useful to me in 
   understanding the works in the book.

Ridpath, John Clark. The Ridpath Library of Universal Literature. New York: Globe Publishing 
   Co., 1898. pp. 128-9. This was one of the most important source I found in gathering 
   information on Hrosvitha. This document told about Hrosvitha and it also gave things that 
   she had written that I was able to use in my time tour. The audience this was intended 
   for was anyone looking to research Hrosvitha a little more in-depth. I was able to 
   conclude after reading this that Hrosvitha is really a great writer and we owe a lot to her. 
   It was also interesting to learn that she has also been copied since her death. The 
   author was a very reliable source who had researched the topic very thoroughly.  

Rozakis, Laurie. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Shakespeare. New York, NY: Alpha, 
   1999. Print.This book’s purpose is to discuss Shakespeare in a way that everyone 
   can understand. It is an overview of his life and his works. This book was very useful
   to me because it gave me great ideas to use in my workshops. It also gave me nice 
   random facts that I could use to show my audience how interesting Hamlet is. The 
   random facts were the most helpful to me because they  helped me come up with 
   creative things to do for my website. The author is a PhD, so she is learned on the 
   subject. The author helped make Shakespeare fun and helped my understand him 
   a little better. 

"The Second Shepherd's Play." Enotes. Web. 23 Feb. 2010. 
   <http://www.enotes.com/everyman-text/second-shepherds-play>. This was the full text 
   of the play and was important to me to include on my website so people could read the 
   play. This isn’t a very well-known play and it isn’t something that is in theaters for the 
   public to see very often. Because of this, I wanted my touring clients to be able to get a 
   taste of this play. This play helped me understand theater in the middle ages and how 
   they were ultimately religious. Even this play has a story from the bible in it. This is the 
   perfect source for learning about the play because it is the play itself. The author is very 
   credible because he or she is the one who wrote the play.

Shakespeare, William. Hamlet. MS. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Complete 
   Works of William Shakespeare. Jeremy Hylton. Web. 23 Feb. 2010. 
   <http://shakespeare.mit.edu/>. This was a play that I put on my website. The play,
   Hamlet, is intended for all audiences. I included this so my clients could read the play and 
   understand the writings of William Shakespeare a little better. This was important to me, 
   also, because being familiar with Shakespeare’s works allowed me to create a writing 
   workshop for my clients.

Sturhahn, Lawrence. "Pageant Wagons." The North American Review 270.3 (1985): 76+. 
   JSTOR. Web. 15 Feb. 2010. <http://www.jstor.org/stable/25124660>. The main focus of 
   this paper was pageant wagons and other theaters during the middle ages. It was 
   intended for all audiences looking to learn more about theater during this time. I had a 
   section devoted to pageant wagons, so this was a very relevant article for me to read. 
   The author concluded that little is known about pageant wagons, but that we know they 
   exist. I have read so many things about pageant wagons; this was not very much more 
   helpful than other things because the truth is that we don’t know a lot about pageant 
   wagons. Everything we know is speculation.

Wilson, Edwin, and Alvin Goldfarb. Living Theater: A History. 3rd ed. Boston: McGraw Hill, 
   2000. Print. This book was an overview of theater through the ages. Its intended 
   audience is students, people who just need an overview of theater history. This 
   was very useful to me because I was able to gain an overview of a topic to guide 
   my research. Because of this book, I was able to get the information I needed in 
   order to further my research.
