Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elizabethan Playhouse, and Other Studies The genial reception given to my earlier book on the Elizabethan Playbouse has encouraged me to issue this Second Series of studies.

We sometimes forget that if there have been growth and decadence since Shakespeare's time, there has also been a certain measure of continuity) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presentation of Time in the Elizabethan Drama The double-time scheme is a method of dealing with the dramatic element of time whereby two im pressions are given simultaneously - one of swiftness and one of slowness; by one series of allusions the action seems to drive ahead furiously, while by ao other series the lapse of weeks and months is ex pressed. Such a device involves a presentation of events under two aspects, one hastening the action to produce excitement and tension, the other pro longing the action, sometimes to the extent of por fraying within the limits of the drama the changes in emotions and motives belonging to a lifetime. This illusory treatment of time has peculiar advan tages, by which it is possible to impose an effect of continuity and concentration upon a plot requiring for its accomplishment the lapse of a long period of time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Elizabethan Drama Antony and Cleopatra is the most wonderful, I think, of all Shakespeare's plays, and it is so mainly because the figure of Cleopatra is the most wonderful of Shakespeare's women. And not of Shakespeare's women only, but perhaps the most wonderful of women. The queen who ends the dynasty of the Ptolemies has been the star of poets, a malign star shedding baleful light, from Horace and Propertius down to Victor Hugo; and it is not to poets only that her name has come to be synonymous with all that one can conceive of the subtlety of beauty.

Of more concrete interest is the long controversy over plays in London, with edicts and counter-edicts from the royal Coun cil and the municipal government. In miniature we see here the same conflict as in the civil war which was soon to come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Minor Elizabethan Drama, Vol. 1: Pre-Shakespearean Tragedies The dramas written during the first thirty years of Eliza beth's reign are not easily arranged in categories. They deal with many kinds of subjects, and they recall many diflerent models. Any single play, in fact, is sure to reveal in some measure the conflicting influences of the two great traditions that were then struggling for mastery. The mediaeval religious dram a, with its miracles and moralities, had been for centuries virtually the only dramatic tradition existing; but by I 559, in England, as elsewhere in europe, the new learning had brought to men's knowledge the tragedies and comedies of Greece and Rome. Although miracle plays had nearly ceased, their chief characteristics long survived: their epic structure, their adherence to the method of translation, their mixture of the terrible and the ludicrous, their medley of persons from all walks in life, and their readiness to exhibit anything whatever on the stage. And, although moralities were already losing their pro-eminence, abstractions figuring as characters in a symbolic presentation of life continued to be common until Shakespeare's time. The classical models, on the other hand, were winning imitators as well as admirers. By translations, by nee-latin or vernacular imitations, by adaptations of biblical story to Terentian or Senecan form, by dramatisation of classical story or myth, and by many other processes, they were becoming familiar to actors and play-goers at court, school, and even in public theatres. While, as Sir Philip Sidney complained, there were very few right comedies or right tragedies, there were an increasing number which showed that their authors had studied classical theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chief Elizabethan Dramatists: Excluding Shakespeare In the treatment of the text, the same principles have been followed as in the editor's dition of Shakespeare's works in the Cambridge Poets Series. Each play has been printed from the most authentic text accessible, and emendations have been adopted sparingly. Lodern stage directions, and divisions into scenes and acts which do not appear in the I editions, have been distinguished by square brackets modern notes of pm at beginning of scenes have been relegated to the footnotes and indications given by the curly copies of the authors' intentions with regard to the reading of the metre have been sinfully preserved, especially in the matter of elided vowels. It is probable that, in the me of most of the present plays, the final -cd of verbs was intended to be pronounced as 3 separate syllable whenever it is spelled in full. The spelling and punctuation have been nodsrnixed throughout, except when the older spelling 1m plied a different pronunciation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elizabethan Drama and Its Mad Folk: The Harness Prize Essay The original title of the essay was The Mad Folk of English Comedy and Tragedy down to 1642. It has been shortened for purposes of convenience, and the term Eliza bethan extended in order to take in a few plays which belong to the next two reigns. The term is, however, generally recognised to be an elastic one, and most of the plays dealt with fall easily within it. Much of the revision of this work has been carried out under pressure of other duties. I have been greatly helped in it by the criticisms and suggestions of Professor G. Moore Smith, by the constant help of Mr. N. G. Brett James, by some useful information given me by Mr. 0. L1. Bullock, and especially by the kindness Of my friend, Dr. J. Hamilton, who has read the essay through in manuscript from the point of view of the physician. Although I have not always taken up this standpoint in dealing with my subject, I have tried at all times to give it due consideration, for, as Ferdinand says in the Duchess of Malfi, Physicians are like kings: they brook no contradiction.
