Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classical Mythology in Shakespeare The term classical mythology has been taken to include not only the divinities of the ancient religion and such tales as those of Ovid's Metamorphoses, but also the heroes of the Trojan war and the personages of the Æneid. In a number of cases, such, for example, as Fortune, Nature, and Fame, it has not been easy to draw a hard and fast line between mythology and mere philosophical personification. In Part First, where the myths are discussed severally, I have been inclined to include such subjects, while excluding them as doubtful from the generalizations of Part Second and the Introduction. Any work in the field of Shakespearian commentary must, of course, be a gleaning of the ears left unnoticed by earlier commentators; but in my corner of the field I have found the gleaning richer than I expected. Though the great mass of Shakespearian scholarship makes it impossible to say with certainty that any given point has not been noticed, I have found that after free use of the Variorum edition of 1821 and, as far as it has been completed, of the Variorum edition of Dr. Furness, there was still plenty of room for original investigation. In this investigation the mythological dictionaries of Roscher, Pauly-Wissowa, and Smith have been of constant assistance. The Globe edition of Shakespeare has been used for quotation and reference; but in giving a list of citations I have followed the approximately chronological order of the plays in the Leopold edition, though always putting the doubtful plays at the end of the list. In citing Shakespearian plays, I have adopted the abbreviations of Schmidt's Shakespeare Lexicon. The citations from Golding's Ovid are from the edition of 1575. The editions of Ovid and Vergil by Merkel and Ribbeck respectively have been used in citations from those authors.

Download or read book Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries written by Janice Valls-Russell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

Download or read book Local and Global Myths in Shakespearean Performance written by Aneta Mancewicz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of scholarly essays offers a new understanding of local and global myths that have been constructed around Shakespeare in theatre, cinema, and television from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on a definition of myth as a powerful ideological narrative, Local and Global Myths in Shakespearean Performance examines historical, political, and cultural conditions of Shakespearean performances in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. The first part of this volume offers a theoretical introduction to Shakespeare as myth from a twenty-first century perspective. The second part critically evaluates myths of linguistic transcendence, authenticity, and universality within broader European, neo-liberal, and post-colonial contexts. The study of local identities and global icons in the third part uncovers dynamic relationships between regional, national, and transnational myths of Shakespeare. The fourth part revises persistent narratives concerning a political potential of Shakespeare’s plays in communist and post-communist countries. Finally, part five explores the influence of commercial and popular culture on Shakespeare myths. Michael Dobson’s Afterword concludes the volume by locating Shakespeare within classical mythology and contemporary concerns.

Download or read book Shakespeare’s Classical Mythology: A Dictionary written by Janice Valls-Russell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does Bassanio compare himself to Jason? What is Hecuba to Hamlet? Is the mechanicals' staging of the Pyramus and Thisbe story funny or sad? This dictionary elucidates Shakespeare's use of mythological references in an early modern context, while bringing them to life for today's audiences and readers, at a time of renewed critical interest in the reception of the classics and fascination with classical mythology in popular culture. It is also a precious tool for practitioners who may not always know quite what to make of mythological references. Mythological figures, creatures, places and stories crowd Shakespeare's plays and poems, featuring as allusions, poetic analogies, inset shows, scene settings and characters or plots in their own right. Most of these references were familiar to Shakespeare's spectators and readers, who knew them from the writings of Ovid, Virgil and other classical authors, or indirectly through translations, commentaries, ballads and iconography. This dictionary illustrates how, far from being isolated, a mythological reference may resonate with the poetics of the text and its structure, cast light on characters and contexts, and may therefore be worth exploring onstage in a variety of ways. The 200 headings correspond to words and names actually used by Shakespeare: individual figures (Dido, Venus, Hercules), categories (Amazons, Centaurs, nymphs, satyrs), places (Colchos, Troy). Medium and longer entries also cover early modern usage and critical analysis in a cross-disciplinary approach that includes reception, textual, performance, gender and political studies.

Download or read book Shakespeare's Erotic Mythology and Ovidian Renaissance Culture written by Ms Agnès Lafont and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches to the volume’s subject, this exciting collection of essays offers a reassessment of Shakespeare’s erotic and Ovidian mythology within classical and continental aesthetic contexts. Through extensive examination of mythological visual and textual material, scholars explore the transmission and reinvention of Ovidian eroticism in Shakespeare’s plays to show how early modern artists and audiences collectively engaged in redefining ways of thinking pleasure. Within the collection’s broad-ranging investigation of erotic mythology in Renaissance culture, each chapter analyses specific instances of textual and pictorial transmission, reception, and adaptation. Through various critical strategies, contributors trace Shakespeare’s use of erotic material to map out the politics and aesthetics of pleasure, unravelling the ways in which mythology informs artistic creation. Received acceptions of neo-platonic love and the Petrarchan tensions of unattainable love are revisited, with a focus on parodic and darker strains of erotic desire, such as Priapic and Dionysian energies, lustful fantasy and violent eros. The dynamics of interacting tales is explored through their structural ability to adapt to the stage. Myth in Renaissance culture ultimately emerges not merely as near-inexhaustible source material for the Elizabethan and Jacobean arts, but as a creative process in and of itself.

Both names are mentioned in North's Plutarch, Theseus, p. 49. Danae (?).--Rom. 1. 1. 220. See Jupiter. Daphne.--Mids. 2. 1. 231; Troil. 1. 1. 101; Shr. Ind. 2. 61. See Apollo. Destiny, Destinies.--See Fate. Deucalion.--Cor. 2. 1. 102; Wint. 4. 4. 441; (Cses. 1. 2. 152). Deucalion is mentioned twice in plays with classical setting as equivalent to Noah, i. e. as the common ancestor of the race, or as one standing in the dawn of history. Cf. 'Since before Noah was a sailor, ' Tw. 3. 2. 18. The 'great flood' of Ges. 1. 2. 152 is probably Deucalion's. For the story see Met. 1. 313 seq. Diana. It is as patroness and type of chastity that Shakespeare most often alludes to Diana. These allusions, of which there are sixteen in the authentic plays, cover the whole range of Shakespeare's activity from Mids. to Cymb., and are pretty evenly divided between tragedies and comedies, but never occur in the histories. In this capacity, Diana is antithetic to Cupid (or Venus). The antithesis is expressed in Rom. 1. 1. 215; Ado 4. 1. 58; Alls 1. 3. 218; 2. 3. 80. In Mids. 4. 1. 76, Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower Hath such force and blessed power, Steevens sees an allusion to the Agnus Castus, 'the virtue of which is that he will keep man and woman chaste' (see the Chaucerian Flower and the Leaf 472-5). The line is more simply explained by Ado 4. 1. 58: You seem to me as Dian in her orb, As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown. Still the context would seem to show that 'Cupid's flower' is the 'love-in-idleness' of 2. 1. 168, and we not unnaturally expect a particular flower to counteract its charm. It is noticeable that as patroness of chastity, Shakespeare mentions the divinity by only one name, Diana (or Dian). Next in..
