Cette pièce de Tom Stoppard joue avec les divisions traditionnelles entre classicisme et romantisme, l'art et la science, l'ordre et le désordre. Ce livre se concentre sur des valeurs proches du texte, et fournit l'historique nécessaire, le fonds critique et théorique pour discuter de ces tensions et leur relation avec les thèmes principaux du temps, du désir et de la perte. ©Electre 2024
The dialogue of art and science in tom stoppard's arcadia
In a country house in Derbyshire in 1809, thirteen-year-old Thomasina Coverly decides to invent a new Geometry of Irregular Forms. Her mathematical discoveries are in advance of her time, but they match the transformations of Sidley Park, in which the Arcadian landscape of the 18th century is giving way to Romantic disorder. They also echo the irregular, unpredictable nature of sexual attraction which she observes around her, and the resulting sentimental imbroglio that Hannah Jarvis and Bernard Nightingale will attempt to unravel 180 years later. In the comical entanglements that ensue, art and science engage in a witty dramatic dialogue, and sex is always part of the equation.
Tom Stoppard's Arcadia plays with the traditional divisions between Classicism and Romanticism, art and science, order and disorder. This book focuses on close readings of the text, and will provide students with the necessary historical, critical and theoretical background to discuss these tensions and their relation to the key themes of time, desire and loss.
