Excerpt: ...share In this perversion of Shakespeare was verv small so far as actual composition was concerned, and was chiefly confined to arrangement for the stage.' This is goIng to the other extreme and Ip taking too favourable a view of Dryden's participation In the 'perversion.' H i p p o l i t o, who had never seen a woman. Hippolito is fhe rightful heir to the Dukedom of Mantua, which has been usurped by Alonzo, who in the present play is Duke of Savoy, and not King of Naples as in Shakespeare. Hippolito, who as a child had been entrusted to the care of Prospero, had been put into the same boat as that in which Prospero had been cast adrift by his brother Antonio. He had been brought up on the Island by Prospero, who, however, had kept him in ignorance of the presence of any other human beings. As Miranda was already destined for Ferdinand, it was necessary to create another woman for Hippolito. This is done by giving Prospero another daughter, D o r i n d a, and by increasing the time of Prospero's exile from twelve to fifteen years, so that both girls might be of a marriageable age.. In order to complete the scheme of "Counterparts," Caliban is furnished with a sister, Sycorax, a monster as ugly as himself. Ariel, too, has a female counterpart, M i I c h a, waiting for him in the spirit-world. The characters of Sebastian, Alonzo's brother, and the two. lords, Francisco and Adrian, have been dispensed with. Stephano and Trincalo are made respectively master and boatswain of the ship in place of Shakespeare's special characters for those positions, and two new characters appear in Mustacho, th e mate, and Ventoso, a mariner. The reduction of Shakespeare's, plot consists in the omission, of Antonio and Sebastian's conspiracy for the...

Download or read book Shakespeare's Bastard written by Simon Stirling and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Davenant (1606–1668) – Poet Laureate and Civil War hero – is one of the most influential and neglected figures in the history of British theatre. He introduced ‘opera’, actresses, scenes and the proscenium arch to the English stage. Narrowly escaping execution for his Royalist activities during the Civil War, he revived theatrical performances in London, right under Oliver Cromwell’s nose. Nobody, perhaps, did more to secure Shakespeare’s reputation or to preserve the memory of the Bard.Davenant was known to boast over a glass of wine that he wrote ‘with the very spirit’ of Shakespeare and was happy to be thought of as Shakespeare’s son. By recounting the story of his eventful life backwards, through his many trials and triumphs, this biography culminates with a fresh examination of the vexed issue of Davenant’s paternity. Was Sir William’s mother the voluptuous and maddening ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and was he Shakespeare’s ‘lovely boy’?

Download or read book Shakespeare's Other Son? written by R.E. Pritchard and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Davenant (1606-1668) was in his time widely known as 'Davenant the Poet'. The son of an Oxford vintner (or quite possibly the natural son of his godfather, William Shakespeare), he wrote poems for and about the Court of Charles I, and, despite losing his nose to mercury treatment for the clap, which other people thought funny, went on to replace Ben Jonson as Poet Laureate and collaborate with Inigo Jones in composing spectacular Court masques, as well as writing many successful plays -- a few fashionably blood-thirsty, most showing a real comic gift, humanity and sympathy with 'ordinary life'. In the Civil War, he earned a knighthood as an especially successful gun-runner for the Royalists, before escaping to Paris, where he worked on an epic poem. Then sent off by Charles II to colonize Virginia but captured by the Parliamentarians, he escaped execution but was imprisoned for five years. With the Restoration, he practically re-invented English theatre, with the first English opera, women actors, movable scenery and the proscenium arch, as well as reviving interest in Shakespeare with inventive adaptations. Energetic, affable and resilient, he was an appealing and well-liked character. Celebrated and important in his day, Davenant is now surprisingly little known. This enterprising study introduces modern readers to his wit, poetry, and growing scepticism as to Court and aristocratic values, and his developing feminist sympathies. Here, select excerpts and summaries bring this entertaining writer to a new, wider audience.
