Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Life of William Shakespeare The materials for a life of Shakespeare have been gradu-a ally assembled by the industry of hundreds Of scholars, extending through more than two centuries; and prob ably little new matter Of importance remains to be dis covered, except through a happy, and at present quite unforeseen, accident. The arduous labors of Professor and Mrs. Wallace in the manuscript archives of England, during the course Of which they examined over a million documents, recently yielded some fresh information; yet the small number Of their finds assures us that nearly all that we are likely to know Of the personal affairs of the great dramatist has already been made pub lic. This stagnation in discovery is perhaps responsible for the tendency, especially marked in the last decade, for writers to deal in fanciful speculation, evolving from Slight evidence, or none worthy of the name, bizarre and Often elaborately detailed hypotheses regarding Shake speare's relations with his contemporaries. But the re sults Of such ingenuity are likely to be as perilous as they are unsubstantial, and for the most part must be ignored by the biographer. On the other hand, some valuable information is now being derived from a study, largely bibliographical, Of the origin of the Shakespearean texts, and of their transmission to us through the medium of the playhouse and the press. True, much remains to be done in this field Of endeavor before absolutely final conclusions are established, yet the main facts which alone are needed for a general biography are already clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare The present little volume is neither a compendium of the facts nor a guide to the theories about Shakespeare. It makes no pretence to even proximate completeness. It seeks simply to single out, in the record of his life and work, what appears most vital to our understanding of both. In dealing with the separate plays, attention has been concentrated upon the cardinal situations and characters, without any systematic attempt to tell "the story" - a kind of dramatic extract in which a maximum of what Shakespeare borrowed is commonly combined with a minimum of what he gave. Fuller handling of the whole of Shakespeare's work, with discussion of the more salient critical problems here perforce ignored, will be found in the Introductions and Notes to the Eversley Shakespeare (Macmillan), edited by the present writer, an occasional phrase from which has been borrowed in the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Facts Regarding the Life of Shakespeare: In a Letter to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F. R. S., Treasurer of the Society of Antiquaries, From J. Payne Collier, F. S. A Thus we see that in 1589 Shakespeare's name is placed twelfth in the list of the sixteen members of the Company. In 1596, he had so far advanced that it was inserted fifth, when only eight of the associa tion were named: in 1603, he was second in the new Patent granted by King James on his accession. How much weight is due to these locations, and what in ferences we may fairly draw from them, it is not easy to decide, but they certainly show that Shakespeare from the first was gradually making his way to greater prominence of station.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William Shakespeare: Including Many Particulars Respecting the Poet and His Family Never Before Published The tide of public curiosity in matters of Shakespearian enquiry has of late years set almost exclusively in the direction of biography; the minutest facts respecting the personal history of the World's Poet receiving more attention, and creating wider discussion, than the happiest illustrations of the great works on which his reputation is established. It is not difficult to assign a reason for this preference, for, although the higher branches of criticism are undoubtedly more important, perhaps, even, when fully understood, more interesting and attractive, biographical disquisitions have the advantage of being readily appreciated by all; and, as Shakespeare was the most eminent genius the world has ever produced, it is not surprising that details of his existence, information of his reality when he lived and moved as one of ourselves, should be sought for with so much avidity. We should also recollect that minute historical researches never appear to so great advantage, nor are they productive of so much utility, as when they tend to unfold the private actions and characters of those great men whose deeds or works have exercised beneficial influences on the progress of mankind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from What We Really Know About Shakespeare During the last winter I listened to three differ ent addresses from the author of Atlantis, who thinks he has discovered a cipher in the First Folio, and that the story concealed by this cipher claims the Plays of Shakespeare as the work of Lord Bacon! Mr. Donnelly had a large audience, and on one of these occasions he addressed a literary club, and was answered at some length by two or three fair Shakespeare scholars. He stated in substance that Shakespeare was low-born, vilely bred, led an obscure life, and was a man who might easily be hired to cloak the personality of a superior who feared political disgrace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare, Himself and His Work: A Biographical Study Wm the preoent volume originally appeared in 1908, it was not intended to form more than an Essay or a Sketch, almost exclusively limited to new facts or new arguments. The reduction of the matter to type shewed me what I had been able to accomplish, and what I had left undone; and during the last five years it has been one of my favourite employments to develop, the original effort into something more nearly resembling 9. Biography. I had a most imper feet idea, when I started, of the state of information and knowledge on the subject; but, independently of a succes sion of new lights, for an ignorance of which earlier workers were obviously not responsible, the long familiar incidents of the life of the poet, sparing as they were, have more frequently than not been misrepresented. In other words, the personal history of Shakespear was rendered even less clear than it might have been, and I now attempt to put on a better footing the new treatment of the question, which came from my pen in the first instance.

Book Synopsis Boycotted Shakespeare Facts by : J. Denham Parsons
Download or read book Boycotted Shakespeare Facts written by J. Denham Parsons and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boycotted Shakespeare Facts: Being a Preliminary Report Upon the Admissible but Hitherto Unallowed-for Evidence Affecting the Problem of the Poet Shakespeare's Identity There is no accompanying explanation. And the nearest approach to comment, is a statement in a general summing-up note to the effect that there may be a reference to 'Venus and Adonis.' Now even if one be wholly unaware of Hall's earlier reference to Labeo as a writer of poetry in "another's name," this can be seen to be a misleading way of presenting Marston's only allusion to Labeo by such nickname. The essential facts are as follows. Marston in 1598 published a poem, 'The Metamorphosis of Pigmalion's Image, ' which was an imitation of 'Venus and Adonis' for like it the introduction mentions that the poem is an initial effort - "the first bloomes of my Poesie," like it the plot is taken from Ovid and is a story of love and metamorphosis, like it 'tis told in stanzas of six lines, like it the rhyme is a b a b c c, and like it the conclusion is about Paphos and Venus; the last two lines of Shakespeare's poem running - "Holding their course to Paphos, where their queen Meanes to immure herselfe and not be seen." And the last two lines of Marston's poem running - "Cyprus was Paphos call'd, and evermore Those Ilanders do Venus name adore." Appended to this imitation of 'Venus and Adonis' by Marston, was a piece of verse by him entitled 'The Author in prayse of his precedent Poem.' The second and shorter of its two divisions apparently includes allusions to Hall and his recently published volumes of satires - as to our knowledge does at least the fourth of Marston's five following satires. The first and longer part censures his own precedent Poem, and concludes - "And in the end, (the end of love I wot) Pigmalion hath a jolly boy begot. So Labeo did complaine his love was stone, Obdurate, flinty, so relentlesse none: Yet Lynceus knowes that in the end of this, He wrought as strange a metamorphosis. Ends not my Poem then surpassing ill? Come, come, Augustus, crowne my laureat quill." The censure of his own poem by Marston which thus ends, and is satirically headed "prayse," is in the next two lines said to be a device to escape being "lasht" by some rival satirist - doubtless Hall - for its faults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's London So much time and study have been given of late to the surroundings of Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists, that everything in connection with Elizabethan times is of considerable interest to a large class of people. Though it is true that many, if not most, of the following facts are to be found in modern works or reprints, it is also true that they are so scattered as to be available only after the most prolonged search, and so inaccessible as to be out of reach of one who has not access to a large library. Furthermore, no work of the present kind has yet appeared, if we except the contemporary Survey of London by John Stow. Some recent attempts to accompany prints of old London with letter - press have resulted in inaccuracies that render the works wholly useless to the person who wishes to be well informed. The present writer has attempted With great care to verify his facts and to draw as largely as possible upon contemporary sources.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 1 Little more than two centuries has elapsed since William Shake speare conversed with our tongue, and trod the self-same soil with ourselves; and if it were not for the records kept by our Church in its registers of births, marriages, and burials, we should at this moment be as personally ignorant of the sweet swan of Avon as we are of the old minstrel and rhapsodist of Meles. That William Shakspeare was born in Stratford upon Avon; that he married and. Had three children that he wrote a certain number of dramas; that he died before he had attained to old age, and was buried in his native town, -are positively the only facts, in the personal history of this extraordinary man, of which we are certainly possessed; and, if we should be solicitous to fill up this bare and most unsatisfactory outline, we must have recourse to the vague reports of unsubstantial tradition, or to the still more shadowy inferences of lawless and vagabond conjecture. Of this remarka able ignorance of one of the most richly endowed with intellect of the human species, who ran his mortal race in our own country, and who stands separated from us by no very great intervention of time, the causes may not be difficult to be ascertained, William Shakspeare was an actor and a writer of plays; in neither of which characters, however he might excel in them, could he be lifted high in the estimation of his contemporaries. He was honored, indeed, With the friendship of nobles and the patronage of monarchs: his. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare and England (Classic Reprint) by : Sir Walter Raleigh
Download or read book Shakespeare and England (Classic Reprint) written by Sir Walter Raleigh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and England There is nothing new and important to be said of Shakespeare. In recent years antiquaries have made some additions to our know ledge of the facts of his life. These additions are all tantalizing and comparatively insignificant. The history of the publication of his works has also become clearer and more intelligible, especially by the labours of Mr. Pollard; but the whole question of quartos and folios remains thorny and difficult, so that no one can reach any definite conclusion in this matter without a liberal use of conjecture. I propose to return to the old catholic doctrine which has been illuminated by so many disciples of Shakespeare, and to speak of him as our great national poet. He embodies and exemplifies all the virtues, and most of the faults, of England. Any one who reads and understands him understands England. This method of studying Shakespeare by reading him has perhaps gone somewhat out of vogue in favour of more roundabout ways of approach, but it is the best method for all that. Shakespeare tells us more about himself and his mind than we could learn even from those who knew him in his habit as he lived, if they were all alive and all talking. To learn what he tells we have only to listen. I think there is no national poet, of any great nation whatsoever, who is so completely representative of his own people as Shake speare is representative of the English. There is certainly no other English poet who comes near to Shakespeare in embodying our character and our foibles. No one, in this connexion, would venture even to mention Spenser or Milton. Chaucer is English, but he lived at a time when England was not yet completely English, so that he is only half-conscious of his nation. Wordsworth is English, but he was a recluse. Browning is English, but he lived apart or abroad, and was a tourist of genius. The most English of all our great men of letters, next to Shakespeare, is certainly Dr. Johnson.

Download or read book Shakespeare in the Theatre (Classic Reprint) written by William Poel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 270 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Original Actors in Shakespeare's PlaysThe ensuing volume is chiefly composed of minute particulars; but particulars, however minute, are not on that account trifling or uninteresting, since they obviously assume importance in proportion to the pro minence or distinction of the parties to whom they te late: these details have reference to Shakespeare, to the great dramatists of his day, and to the principal actors engaged in the original performance of their plays.General readers will hardly be aware of the time and trouble employed in collecting the facts here arranged; and the compiler is afraid to dwell upon them, lest it should be imagined that he is disposed to over-estimate his labours or his acquisitions. He is fully sensible of the many deficiencies of what he now offers: he knows how much remains to be done; but he knows, too, how much more is contained in the following sheets, than was ever discovered or brought together before. Those only who are acquainted with the scanty and imper fect materials of preceding biographers in this depart ment, Will be likely to do justice to the quantity of new information comprised in the volume in their hands.
