Book Synopsis Who Wrote Shakespeare's Sonnets? by : Kenneth Farnol
Download or read book Who Wrote Shakespeare's Sonnets? written by Kenneth Farnol and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long overdue investigation carefully questions the authorship of many of 'Shakespeare's' Sonnets. The Sonnets have to be seen as a collection of individual true-life accounts by different male and female writers to be properly understood. This is the key to the integrity of these literary masterpieces. When read in this light: a clear picture soon emerges. The simple logic of these findings certainly demands further academic and non-academic attention. Some of the more satirical sonnets were indeed by Shakespeare but most were probably by 'Rival Poet' members of the aristocratic Sidney family. Many were private and confidential and patently never approved for publication. This is an extremely important point. Sonnets are not about theatre they are about real life. Several sonnets show clearly feminine style and content. The natural beauty of those by the unmistakable Mary Sidney/Herbert, Lady Pembroke; Nos.1-17, at least, shines out from the best of them. Further sonnets by her son William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and her niece Mary Sidney/Wroth are of considerable historical and romantic interest. The evidence is overwhelming. However, we must seriously challenge the overbearing weight of centuries of sexism, false premises and half-truths surrounding the Sonnets. Prevailing pseudo-homosexual 'Fair Youth' myths, for example, are deemed dubious, distracting and unconvincing. Shakespeare was evidently not comfortable with the sonnet format but the glory, authorship and integrity of his Plays remains unsurpassed. When reading the Sonnets we find further real-life male/female stories of adolescent infatuation, ambition, and scandal in the shadow of the early 17th C. Royal Court. Just read the Sonnets in this book and then judge for yourself!

Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Poets' War by : James Bednarz
Download or read book Shakespeare and the Poets' War written by James Bednarz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a remarkable piece of detective work, Shakespeare scholar James Bednarz traces the Bard's legendary wit-combats with Ben Jonson to their source during the Poets' War. Bednarz offers the most thorough reevaluation of this "War of the Theaters" since Harbage's Shakespeare and the Rival Traditions, revealing a new vision of Shakespeare as a playwright intimately concerned with the production of his plays, the opinions of his rivals, and the impact his works had on their original audiences. Rather than viewing Shakespeare as an anonymous creator, Shakespeare and the Poets' War re-creates the contentious entertainment industry that fostered his genius when he first began to write at the Globe in 1599. Bednarz redraws the Poets' War as a debate on the social function of drama and the status of the dramatist that involved not only Shakespeare and Jonson but also the lesser known John Marston and Thomas Dekker. He shows how this controversy, triggered by Jonson's bold new dramatic experiments, directly influenced the writing of As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Troilus and Cressida, and Hamlet, gave rise to the first modern drama criticism in English, and shaped the way we still perceive Shakespeare today.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare's Living Art by : Rosalie Littell Colie
Download or read book Shakespeare's Living Art written by Rosalie Littell Colie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, her last book, Rosalie L. Colie suggests that by linking "forms"—verse forms, devices, motives, themes, conventions, genres—to the culture from which a writer springs and to his selection and organization of materials, we can understand the processes by which he becomes what he is, and is enabled to do what he does. She is particularly concerned with uncovering the ways in which Shakespeare used, misused, criticized, re-created, and sometimes revolutionized the received topics and devices of his craft. In this sense, Shakespeare's plays are seen as problem plays, each exploring the problematics of his craft and revealing his assessment of what was problematical. The author has chosen for study topics which connect Shakespeare with the long and rich continental Renaissance, in the hope that in the future Shakespeare might be, like Dante and Cervantes, an essential author in a comparatist's education. Usually a single topic dealing with some formal aspect of a play—the use of stereotypes to create a character highly original in stage practice, or the various manipulations of a mode (the pastoral, for example) rich in potentialities—is used to try to see in what particular ways Shakespeare shaped works that are still unique. Originally published in 1974.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright; Who art as black as hell, as dark as night." —William Shakespeare, Sonnet 147 In the boldest imagining of the era since Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth, a finalist for the Italian Premio del Castello del Terriccio, this spellbinding novel of witchcraft, poetry, and passion, brings to life Aemilia Lanyer, the "Dark Lady" of Shakespeare's Sonnets—the playwright's muse and his one true love. The daughter of a Venetian musician but orphaned as a young girl, Aemilia Bassano grows up in the court of Elizabeth I, becoming the Queen's favorite. She absorbs a love of poetry and learning, maturing into a striking young woman with a sharp mind and a quick tongue. Now brilliant, beautiful, and highly educated, she becomes mistress of Lord Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain and Queen's cousin. But her position is precarious; when she falls in love with court playwright William Shakespeare, her fortunes change irrevocably. A must-read for fans of Tracy Chevalier (Girl With a Pearl Earring) and Sarah Dunant (The Birth of Venus), Sally O'Reilly's richly atmospheric novel compellingly re-imagines the struggles for power, recognition, and survival in the brutal world of Elizabethan London. She conjures the art of England's first professional female poet, giving us a character for the ages—a woman who is ambitious and intelligent, true to herself, and true to her heart.

Book Synopsis The Secret Architecture of Shakespeare's Sonnets by : Steven Monte
Download or read book The Secret Architecture of Shakespeare's Sonnets written by Steven Monte and published by EUP. This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues the idea that Shakespeare was deeply engaged with other poets and with pursuing a career as a poet, and that the organisational schemes of the Sonnets have been hiding in plain sight for over four centuries. The fundamental reason why his schemes have gone unnoticed is historical: within decades of his death, conventions of sonnet sequences became unfamiliar, and they have largely remained so since. Weaving together ideas of the Sonnets as a free-standing sequence and as a sonnet sequence among other poets' complex sequences, we discover new insights into Shakespeare's career as a poet.

Book Synopsis So Long as Men Can Breathe by : Clinton Heylin
Download or read book So Long as Men Can Breathe written by Clinton Heylin and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-05-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively, fascinating account of the publication of Shakespeare's Sonnets, noted biographer Clinton Heylin brings their convoluted history to light, beginning with the first complete appearance of the Sonnets in print in May, 1609. He introduces us to the "unholy alliance" involved in this precarious enterprise: Thomas Thorpe, the publisher, a self-described "well wishing adventurer;" George Eld, the printer, heavily embroiled in large-scale pirating; William Aspley, the prestigious bookseller, who mysteriously ended his association with Thorpe soon after. Leaving the calamitous world of Elizabethan publishing, Heylin goes on to chart the many editions of the Sonnets through the years and the editorial decisions that led to their present configuration. Passionate, astute, and brilliantly entertaining, the result is a concise and vivid history of perhaps the greatest poetry ever written.
