Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harley Granville-Barker S Prefaces To Shakespeare Originally Published In Five Series Between 1927 And 1947 Covering Ten Plays Are Collected In Four Volumes:Volume I (Hamlet), Volume Ii (King Lear, Cymbeline, Julius Caesar), Volume Iii (Antony And Cleopatra, Coriolanus) And Volume Iv (Love S Labour S Lost, Romeo And Juliet, The Merchant Of Venice, Othello).An Actor, Dramatist, Producer And A Profound Shakespearean Scholar, Granville-Barker Brought About A Revolution In His Shakespearean Productions In The First Decade Of The Twentieth Century By Recapturing, With His Experience And Expertise, The Spirit And Vitality Of The Plays As They Were Produced On The Elizabethan Stage. He Saw Shakespeare As A Man Of The Theatre And Gave A Lie To Lamb That The Plays Of Shakespeare Were Less Calculated For Performance On A Stage Than Those Of Any Dramatist Whatsoever. About The Productions G.B. Harrison Remarks That They Were The Most Important Productions For A Hundred Years Not Only Because They Were Beautiful In Themselves, But Because For The First Time Since The Seventeenth Century Shakespeare S Plays Were Played Just As They Were Written, And Not Cut And Rearranged To Suit The Scene-Shifter. The Prefaces Are Elaborate Explications Of What Shape The Productions, And How And Why Granville-Barker S Alert Attention To The Minutiae Of A Text And Threadbare Discussions Of Various Aspects Of The Plays Reveal The Dramatic Wealth Of A Shakespearean Play. The Prefaces With Their Focus On The Integrity And Vitality Of A Play Have Become A Landmark In Shakespearean Criticism. T.S. Eliot Has Rightly Remarked: Perhaps More Than Any Other Single Writer, H. Granville-Barker By His Prefaces, Illuminating The Plays With The Understanding Of The Producer, Has Suggested The Need For A Synthesis Of The Several Points Of View From Which Shakespeare Can Be Studied. Any Teacher And Student Of Shakespeare Will Find These Books Immensely Valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). "With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his." - From SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE Celebrated playwright, critic and essayist George Bernard Shaw was more like the Elizabethan master that he would ever admit. Both men were intristic dramatists who shared a rich and abiding respect for the stage. Shakespeare was the produce of a tempestuous and enlightening era under the reign of his patron, Queen Elizabeth I; while G.B.S. reflected the racy and risque spirt of the late 19th century as the champion of modern drama by playwrights like Ibsen, and, later, himself. Culled from Shaw's reviews, prefaces, letters to actors and critics, and other writings, SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE offers a fascinating and unforgettable portrait of the 16th century playwright by his most outspoken critic. This is a witty and provocative classic that combines Shaw's prodigious critical acumen with a superlative prose style second to none (except, perhaps, Shakespeare!).

Download or read book The Evolution of Shakespeare's Comedy written by Larry S. Champion and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of Shakespeare's comedy, in Larry Champion's view, is apparent in the expansion of his comic vision to include a complete reflection of human life while maintaining a comic detachment for the audience. Like the other popular dramatists of Elizabethan England, Shakespeare used the diverse comic motifs and devices which time and custom had proved effective. He went further, however, and created progressively deeper levels of characterization and plot interaction, thereby forming characters who were not merely devices subordinated to the needs of the plot. Shakespeare's development as a comic playwright, suggests Champion, was "consistently in the direction of complexity or depth of characterization." His earliest works, like those of his contemporaries, are essentially situation comedies: the humor arises from action rather than character. There is no significant development of the main characters; instead, they are manipulated into situations which are humorous as a result, for example, of mistaken identity or slapstick confusion. The ensuing phase of Shakespeare's comedy sets forth plots in which the emphasis is on identity rather than physical action, a revelation of character which occurs in one of two forms: either a hypocrite is exposed for what he actually is or a character who has assumed an unnatural or abnormal pose is forced to realize and admit the ridiculousness of his position. In the final comedies involving sin and sacrificial forgiveness, however, character development is concerned with a "transformation of values." Although each of the comedies is discussed, Champion concentrates on nine, dividing them according to the complexity of characterization. He pursues as well the playwright's efforts to achieve for the spectator the detached stance so vital to comedy. Shakespeare obtained this perspective, Champion observes, through experimentation with the use of material mirroring the main action--mockery, parody, or caricature--and through the use of a "comic pointer" who is himself involved in the action but is sufficiently independent of the other characters to provide the audience with an omniscient view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable resurgence of interest has taken place over recent years in a biographical approach to the work of early modern poets and dramatists, in particular to the plays and poems of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson. The contributors to this volume approach the topic in a manner that is at once critically and historically alert. They acknowledge that the biographical evidence for all three authors is limited, thus throwing the emphasis acutely on interpretation. In addition to new scholarship, the essays are valuable for their awareness of the challenges posed by recent redirections of critical methodology. Scepticism and self-criticism are marked features of the writing gathered here.
