Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tudor Drama: A History of English National Drama, to the Retirement of Shakespeare It is probably not hard to defend the chronological limits and the title of this essay. There would seem to be a practical convenience in a treatment commencing with the earliest evidences of English national drama and closing with the highest accomplishment of that drama in the work of Shakespeare. Nor does it appear a gross exaggeration to include this entire evolution within the confines of The Tudor Drama for though most of the specimens discussed in the first two chap ters had their original inception in the century before the Tudor era began, there can be no doubt that they still remained at the opening of our period the most characteristic expressions of English dramatic genius.

Elizabethan drama centres in Shakespeare, not merely for the general reader, but also for the professional student. Shake speare seems to have tried nearly every form or plan suggested by his predecessors and given it in many cases its supreme expression. Moreover, to an extent which was at one time greatly under-estimated, his successors recognized his pre - eminence and started from his achievement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Shakespeare: The Tragedy of Hamlet This edition Of Hamlet aims in the first place at giving a trustworthy text. Secondly, it attempts to exhibit the variations from that text which are found in the primary sources - the Quarto of I 604 and the Folio of I 62 3 - in so far as those variations are of importance towards the ascertainment Of the text. Every variation is not recorded, but I have chosen to err on the side Of excess rather than on that of defect. Readings from the Quarto Of 1603 are occa sionally given, and also from the later Quartos and Folios, but to record such readings is not a part of the design Of this edition. The letter Q means Quarto 1604; F means Folio 1623. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and America The discovery of America had much to do with the revival of English learning and litera ture, and aroused the anglo-saxon mind to that creative activity which produced her immortal drama. Columbus, Cabot, Drake, Raleigh, and America, made possible a Shakespeare. They lifted the horizon of the human mind no less than of the seas, and widened the intellectual view of man to a larger world. If the enlargement of the world furnished inspiration for a Bacon's mind and for the new philosophy, and the new science, much more did it awaken the new son-g and arouse the poetic genius of a Shakespeare. In none of its functions did the English mind of that age become more active and productive than in its imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in the Theatre The interdependence of Shakespeare's dramatic art with the form of theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays is seldom emphasized. The ordinary reader and the everyday critic have no historic knowledge of the Elizabethan playhouse; and however full the Elizabethan dramas may be of allusions to the contemporary stage, the bias of modern dramatic students is so opposed to any belief in the superiority of past methods of acting Shakespeare over modern ones, as to effectually bar any serious inquiry. A few sceptics have recognized dimly that a conjoint study of Shakespeare and the stage for which he wrote is possible; but they have not conducted their researches either seriously or impartially, and their conclusions have proved disputable and disappointing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare is usually set apart from his contemporaries, in kind no less than quality. This book, the long-awaited final volume in the Oxford History of English Literature, sees Elizabethan drama as drawn together by a shared need to deal with contradictory pressures from heterogeneous audiences, censorious authorities, profit driven managers, and authors looking for classic status and social esteem. Hunter follows the compromises and contradictions of the Elizabethan repertory, examining how Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists were able to move easily from vulgar realism to poetic transcendence.

Download or read book Four Comedies written by William Shakespeare and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew Robust and bawdy, The Taming of the Shrew captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills–and love–with her bridegroom, Petruchio, in a comedy of unmatched theatrical brilliance, filled with visual gags and witty repartee. A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood turn the mismatched rivalries of four young lovers into a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment, all touched by Shakespeare’s inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between dreams and the waking world. The Merchant of Venice This dark comedy of love and money contains one of the truly mythic figures in literature–Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. The “pound of flesh” he demands as payment of Antonio’s debt has become a universal metaphor for vengeance. Here, pathos and farce combine with moral complexity and romantic entanglements, to display the extraordinary power and range of Shakespeare at his best. Twelfth Night Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy juxtaposes a romantic plot involving separated twins and mistaken identity with a more satiric one about the humiliation of a pompous killjoy. The hilarity is touched with melancholy, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s plaintive song. Each Edition Includes: • Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Theatre: Observations on the Contemporary English and American Stage This little book contains a discussion, with sufficient corroborative figures and specific illustrations, of some of the conditions and tendencies of the English and American stage of 1900-1918. The Modern Drama is so much greater than the Modern Theatre that we are confronted with a huge problem. We are living in the best period of play-writing since the age of Shakespeare; but how shall Americans outside of New York have an opportunity to see these new and original dramas? How can the modern theatre become a part of our national life? I have answered these two questions, but I wish I knew exactly how to bring the remedy to the patient, or to make the patient want it seriously enough to insist on having it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Tragedy of Richard the Third: To Which Is Appended the Latin Play of Richardus Tertius, by Dr. Thomas Legge, Both Anterior to Shakespeare's Drama; With an Introduction and Notes Malone commences his History of the English Stage by saying that Dryden has truly observed that Shake speare found not, but created first, the stage 1 and the critic then proceeds to produce evidence which shows that this observation is not true, as most certainly it is not. It was in truth (as Mr. Collier more judiciously says) created by no one man, and in no one age; and, Whatever improvements Shakespeare introduced, it will be seen that when he began to write for the theatre, our drama was completely formed and firmly established.2 Bad as the following play is, it is a drama, completely formed, and was regularly acted. If Dryden had said that Shakespeare found the stage of brick, and left it of marble, it would have answered his purpose as well, and would have been nearer to the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Noble Kinsmen Some of the ablest critics - Lamb, Coleridge, Charles Knight, Dyce, Swinburne, and others - believe that Shakespeare was one of the authors of le T 700 Noble Kinsmen; and when I edited it, some twenty years ago, I was inclined to agree with them. It is certain that the play had two authors; that John F letcher was one of them; that the other was his equal, if not his supe rior, in dramatic power and skill; and that their joint production, whatever may be its history, is one of the best works of that golden age of the English drama. I am now fully satisfied that Shakespeare did not write a line of it; but I have decided to retain it in the present edition, giving an impartial summary of the evidence and arguments for and against the theory that Shakespeare had a share in it, and leaving readers and students to decide the question for themselves.
