Please make the précis of following passage

The touring companies had set up their stages; when playing for town fox and not for the nobility in the large in yards where the crowed could sit or stand around the platform and the superior. Pattern could seat themselves in the galleries outside the bedrooms of the inn. The London theaters more or less reproduce this setting, though they were usually round or owl stage was more then a mere platform having entrance at side, A curtained inner and upper stage or balcony. For imagenetic poetic drama, this type of stage had many advantages. There was no scenery to be changed; the dramatists could move freely and swiftly from place to place. Having only words at his command he had to use his imaginations and compel his audience to use theirs. The play could move at great speed. Even with such limonite evident as we possess, it is not hard to believe that the Elizabethan audience attending a poetic tragedy or comedy, found in the theater and imaginative experiences of a richness and intensity that we can not discovered in our own drama.

The touring companies had set up their stages; when playing for towns-folk and not for the nobility in the large inn yards where the crowd could sit or stand around the platform and the superior patrons could seat themselves in the galleries outside the bedrooms of the inn. The London theatres more or less reproduced this setting, though they were usually round or oval in shape and stage was more than a mere platform, having entrances at each side, a curtained inner stage and an upper stage or balcony. For imaginative Poetic drama this type of stage had many advantages. There was no scenery to be changed, the dramatist could move freely and swiftly from place to place.

Superiority of Elizabethan Theater over Modern Drama

Earlier touring companies set up their stages in the courtyard of hotels. Later on, in Elizabethan period, London theaters were organized upon the layout of earlier stages. However, the simplicity of London theatres did not shadow the performance of the actors and the progress of the drama. In fact, at that time the audience greatly enjoyed the fascinating play that lacked in today's drama. (64 words)

earlier the stages comprised of round platform,with audience around it and elites sitting in the galleries.London theatre used the same settings and imaginative drama was prifitted with it;as the actor had to use his imagination only with the help of the dialouges to create the effect without using any scenary.thus with limited resouses audiense got maximum pleasure which modren drama fails to create.

When the French revolution passed into the Terror, and especially when the republic changed a defensive into an aggressive war, Wordsworth lost his trust in immediate social reform. He turned more and more to abstract meditation on man and society, chiefly under the guidance of William Godwin—a period of dry intellectualism that went against the grain. He suffered from the suppression of his feelings, from being momentarily deaf to “the language of the sense.” Besides, his analysis of men’s motives soon convinced him that the evils he fought against were not so much the results of social forms as of something inherent in man’s nature. A man of commanding intellect may be wantonly cruel and vicious; he may use all the powers of logic for his detestable ends; reason is non-moral; the wicked “spin motives out of their own bowels.” Hence, a wellnigh absolute, though transient, pessimism, which vented itself in his play The Borderers. If the traditional bonds of morality are relaxed, the fixed rules of our actions or the intuitive guidance of the feelings repudiated, then full scope is given to bold, intelligent, bad men; then are the well-meaning blinded and betrayed to abominable deeds. Then is the Terror possible. Scarcely any hope of betterment is left. The kind-hearted Girondin Marmaduke will be an easy prey to the villainous Montagnard Oswald.

When the French revolution turned into an offensive violent terror , Wordsworth started exploring man, his nature and motives in committing such atrocities. His play The Borderers was the result of these deliberations.
In times of chaos and revolution the common rules of society are suspended, sensational ideas override good sense, thus well intentioned people are more susceptible to the detestable manipulations of calculating men.

[Sweet Devil]

when the french revolutin turned violent it focused Wordsworth attention from genreal societry to particular man which led to the asscertion that evil is inborn and if it were not governed by morals ,and lend only to reason the susceptible few could use it to loathsome feats

any senior plz tell me how i did it ???

THE EFFECT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

When the French revolution turned sadistic, William Wordsworh lost his conviction in social amelioration and began to study profoundly the nature of man and society. He observed that his skirmish against evil is not intrinsic in man's nature. His play The Borderers shows a cynicism that the relaxation in traditional bond can create the scope of bold, intelligent and bad men. This will anticipate no sign of betterment for the society and will cause fracas.

Can anyone summarize the following Essay in own words in approximately one third of its original length; the summary should be between 200 and 300 words.


Ecology and economics should push in the same direction. After all, the “eco” part of each word derives from the Greek word for “home”, and the protagonists of both claim to have humanity's welfare as their goal. Yet environmentalists and economists are often at loggerheads. For economists, the world seems to be getting better. For many environmentalists, it seems to be getting worse. These environmentalists have developed a sort of “litany” of three big environmental fears: natural resources are running out; the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted. Human activity is thus defiling the earth, and humanity may end up killing itself in the process. The trouble is, the evidence does not back up this litany. The early environmental movement worried that the mineral resources on which modern industry depends would run out. Clearly, there must be some limit to the amount of fossil fuels and metal ores that can be extracted from the earth: the planet, after all, has a finite mass. But that limit is far greater than many environmentalists would have people believe. Reserves of natural resources have to be located, a process that costs money. That, not natural scarcity, is the main limit on their availability. However, known reserves of all fossil fuels, and of most commercially important metals, are now larger than were believed to be. In the case of oil, for example, reserves that could be extracted at reasonably competitive prices would keep the world economy running for about 150 years at present consumption rates. Add to that the fact that the price of solar energy has fallen by half in every decade for the past 30 years, and appears likely to continue to do so into the future, and energy shortages do not look like a serious threat either to the economy or to the environment. The population explosion is also turning out to be a bugaboo. As far back as the end of the 18th Century Thomas Malthus claimed that, if unchecked, human population would expand exponentially, while food production could increase only linearly, by bringing new land into cultivation. He was wrong. Population growth has turned out to have an internal check: as people grow richer and healthier, they have smaller families. Indeed, the growth rate of the human population reached its peak, of more than 2% a year, in the early 1960s. The rate of increase has been declining ever since. It is now 1.26%, and is expected to fall to 0.46% in 2050. The United Nations estimates that most of the world's population growth will be over by 2100, with the population stabilising at just below 11 billion. Granted, the threat of pollution is real, but exaggerated. Many analyses show that air pollution diminishes when a society becomes rich enough to be able to afford to be concerned about the environment. For London, the city for which the best data are available, air pollution peaked around 1890. Today, the air is cleaner than it has been since 1585. There is good reason to believe that this general picture holds true for all developed countries. And, although air pollution is increasing in many developing countries, they are merely replicating the development of the industrialized countries. When they grow sufficiently rich they, too, will start to reduce their air pollution. All this contradicts the litany. Yet opinion polls suggest that many people, in the rich world, at least, nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining. Scientific funding goes mainly to areas with many problems. That may be wise policy, but it will also create an impression that many more potential problems exist than is the case. The attitude of the media is also a factor in the distortion. People are clearly more curious about bad news than good. Newspapers and broadcasters are there to provide what the public wants. That, however, can lead to significant distortions of perception. To replace the litany with facts is crucial if people want to make the best possible decisions for the future.
