The most famous British playwright is obviously William Shakespeare. He lived from 1564 to 1616. During that time he wrote about 40 plays, which are still played and used in today's theatre. His plays are performed more often than those of any other playwright. The first professional woman playwright was Aphra Behn. Nowadays there are not so many world famous dramatists in England but the memory of William Shakespeare and many others has preserved until today. Important modern playwrights include Alan Ayckbourn, John Osborne, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, and Arnold Wesker. Music Many British music composers have made major contributions to world's music, and are known internationally. They also have many orchestras including BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia etc. The British were one of the two main nations in the development of rock and roll along with the Americans, and they have provided many bands.

8.b klass Oscar Wilde Referaat Tartu 2009 Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet and author of numerous short stories and one novel. Known for his biting wit, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest. As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain.

The seven signatories of this proclamation, Patrick Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh, Thomas Clarke, Sean MacDiarmada, Joseph Plunkett, Eamonn Ceannt and James Connolly, were executed, along with nine others, and thousands were interned precipitating the Irish War of Independence. Theatre Following in the tradition of Shaw, Wilde and Samuel Beckett, playwrights such as Seán O'Casey, Brian Friel, Sebastian Barry, Conor McPherson and Billy Roche have gained popular success. Music Ireland is known for its traditional music and song, in origin going back hundreds of years but still played throughout the country. Among the best-known modern performers are groups such as The Chieftains, singers such as Christy Moore, ensembles such as Anúna and Celtic Woman and cross-over artists such as singers Enya and Sinéad

What was the leading genre in English literature at that time? How did it develop? Beyond question, the Elizabethan period was the golden age of English drama, including among its dramatists Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, along with more than a dozen other first-rate playwrights. Under the skillful handling of these dramatists, blank verse, introduced into the lg by Surrey, became the main vehicle for tragedy and comedy. Native English drama, which had existed at least since medieval times, was the wellspring of Elizabethan drama. Although Classical drama had been known earlier, its initial influence came in the 1560s, with the translation of Latin drama, especially the revenge tragedies of Seneca and the comedies of Plautus and Terence. 13
Nowadays there is new "The Globe". Stage in the middle, audience surrounded it. Theatre house had balkony, mad use of it. No curtins. Got light from sun or candles, torches. Many burnt down. Almost none scenery and decorations. Audience was informed with signs where was written where the action took place. Action was very quick, continoius. Actors were men and boys. Drama was divided into tragedy and comedy. First one swere imitations of ancient Roman tragedies and comedies. The first playwrights were men of academic learning. Called Universitie Wits.

particular aim which requires the use of non-literary forms and expressions. The 16th century plays are mostly written in iambic pentameter, rhymed or unrhymed. The plays of this period were justly called dramatic poetry. The performance kept close to the norms of colloquial language and that tendency affected the verse and resulted in breaking the regular rhythm of the metre. This breaking became one of the characteristic features of the language of dramatic poetry. The great playwrights of this period modulated the rhythmical pattern of blank verse. A popular form of entertainment at the courts of Elizabeth and the Stuarts was the masque ( ). These masques are believed to be the earliest forms of what is now known as "spoken drama". But the drama of the 17th century itself still holds fast to poetic diction up to the decline of the theatre. The revival of drama began only in the second half of the 18th century,
Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky soon became internationally renowned to the point that many scholars such as F. R. Leavis have described one or the other as the greatest novelist ever. In the second half of the century Anton Chekhov excelled in writing short stories and became perhaps the leading dramatist internationally of his period. Other important 19th-century developments included the fabulist Ivan Krylov; non-fiction writers such as Vissarion Belinsky and Alexander Herzen; playwrights such as Aleksandr Griboyedov, Aleksandr Ostrovsky and the satirist Kozma Prutkov. The 20th century (Silver age) The beginning of the 20th century ranks as the Silver Age of Russian poetry. Well-known poets of the period include: Alexander Blok, Sergei Yesenin, Valery Bryusov, Konstantin Balmont, Mikhail Kuzmin, Igor Severyanin, Sasha Chorny, Nikolay Gumilyov, Maximilian Voloshin, Innokenty Annensky, Zinaida Gippius.

Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Next he wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, con- sidered some of the finest examples in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as ro- mances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accur- acy during his lifetime, and in 1623 two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now re- cognised as Shakespeare's. Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the nineteenth century. The Ro-
influences came from the West. Most recognisable of these was German Expressionism (Hugo von Hofmannstahl, Georg Kaiser and others). The repertoire became more diverse comprising both classics (often getting expressionistic and impressionistic staging), and more realistic popular plays and representations of Estonian rural and urban life. The social-critical trend was stressed by the Töölisteater (Tallinn Workers’ Theatre) led by Priit Põldroos (1902-1968). Among the local playwrights the humorist 1 Still to be translated and published, in its entirety, in English. 2 A worldwide association of writers, founded in 1921, to promote friendship and intellectual co- operation among writers everywhere; to emphasize the role of literature in the development of mutual understanding and world culture and satirist Hugo Raudsepp (1883-1952) stands out with his comedies.
