Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.

Book excerpt: Among the most enduring poetry of all time, William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets address such eternal themes as love, beauty, honesty, and the passage of time. Written primarily in four-line stanzas and iambic pentameter, Shakespeare’s sonnets are now recognized as marking the beginning of modern love poetry. The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations. Known as “The Bard of Avon,” William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare’s innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Winter's Tale" by William Shakespeare is a compelling play that explores themes of jealousy, forgiveness, and redemption. Set in the kingdoms of Sicilia and Bohemia, the play unfolds in two distinct halves, with the first part characterized by tragedy and the second part by reconciliation and renewal. The story begins with King Leontes of Sicilia becoming consumed by irrational jealousy, suspecting his wife, Queen Hermione, of infidelity with his childhood friend, King Polixenes of Bohemia. Leontes' unfounded suspicions lead to tragic consequences, including the death of their young son and the imprisonment of Hermione. In the second half of the play, the focus shifts to Bohemia, where we encounter the shepherd and his son who find and raise Perdita, the abandoned daughter of Leontes and Hermione. As the plot unfolds, long-hidden secrets are revealed, leading to moments of reconciliation, forgiveness, and ultimately, redemption. "The Winter's Tale" is celebrated for its richly drawn characters, evocative language, and powerful exploration of human emotions. Shakespeare masterfully weaves together elements of tragedy and comedy, creating a deeply moving and thought-provoking work that resonates with audiences across generations. With its themes of jealousy, repentance, and the possibility of second chances, "The Winter's Tale" continues to captivate audiences and remind us of the transformative power of forgiveness and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.

Download or read book The Winter's Tale written by William Shakespeare and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winter’s Tale, one of Shakespeare’s very late plays, is filled with improbabilities. Before the conclusion, one character comments that what we are about to see, “Were it but told you, should be hooted at / Like an old tale.” It includes murderous passions, man-eating bears, princes and princesses in disguise, death by drowning and by grief, oracles, betrayal, and unexpected joy. Yet the play, which draws much of its power from Greek myth, is grounded in the everyday. A “winter’s tale” is one told or read on a long winter’s night. Paradoxically, this winter’s tale is ideally seen rather than read—though the imagination can transform words into vivid action. Its shift from tragedy to comedy, disguises, and startling exits and transformations seem addressed to theater audiences.

Book Synopsis The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased by : Curtis Mosley
Download or read book The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased written by Curtis Mosley and published by Cambridge Fidelity. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased. This book converts William Shakespeare's famous play into contemporary English. Modern terms and language replace the renowned playwright's antiquated references and phrases. You don't need to dig up obscure expressions to understand the gist of Shakespeare's dialogue. The impact remains intact without all the baggage. This paraphrasing demystifies the archaic lingo of the 1600's but retains the spice of Shakespeare's cut-and-thrust dialogue and raucous comedy. It is easy to read but hard to put down. Additionally, 90 pictures set the stage for the time when kings, queens, and noblemen ruled the land. These vivid images, most of which are masterpieces, frame the successes and failures of the story’s heroes, villains, and fumbling stooges. The old becomes alive, tangible and tasty. You will be refreshed and enlightened to discover this window to the author and his acclaimed tragicomedy. It brings the charm and panache of long ago to modern times. "The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased" is a friend to all who love the stage and entertaining adventures.
Download or read book The Winter's Tale written by Fitzroy Pyle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1969. Critics have in the past described The Winter's Tale as a work of "haphazard structure". More recent criticism has defended the structure of the play and this work shows that the evidence points to the fact that Shakespeare took infinite pains with the choice and disposition of the materials of The Winter's Tale. The scene-by-scene commentary considers The Winter's Tale in isolation, but prologue, epilogue and appendix place it in the context of related plays, and discuss, among others, the problem of genre as it affects the play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas North’s 1555 Travel Journal: From Italy to Shakespeare makes available a little known early modern journal kept by a member of Queen Mary’s delegation to Rome, its purpose to win papal approval of England’s return to Roman Catholicism. The book provides details of the six-month journey, a discussion of the manuscript, and an identification of the twenty-year-old Thomas North as its author. It also points to numerous connections between the journal and the plays of Shakespeare, extending the playwright’s debt beyond North’s translation of Plutarch’s Lives and revealing how the journal served as a template for The Winter’s Tale and Henry VIII. Both, the authors argue, were written by North during the Marian years (1554-58) and later adapted by Shakespeare. Like the authors’ 2018 “A Brief Discourse of Rebellion and Rebels” by George North,this book presents original work using digital research tools, including massive databases and plagiarism software. The earlier book garnered worldwide attention, with a front-page story in The New York Times.
