Book excerpt: Published in 1981: Authors of early English and American printers's manuals casually appropriated text from their predecessors. The practice, common enough not to require explanation or acknowledgement ( much less apology), was documented by Lawrence C. Wroth in 1935. Citing borrowed passages and devising a literary family tree, Wroth measured the original work of typographical writers from Moxon to De Vinne, with much more praise for them but with less for those in between. The author who, whose Typographia is reprinted here, was found to be the worst and boldest of offenders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My subject is 'Shakespeare in the Eighteenth Century'. What was his reputation then, and how have the critics, and the scholars, and the actors of that age contributed to his fame? ...At no time since his death has Shakespeare not been placed upon a pinnacle by himself as the greatest of all English writers. But each age has its own point of view, its own special interests, its characteristic method of treatment; and no age can ever say the last word on anything that is a living and life-giving force. Say the last word on Shakespeare, and Shakespeare is dead.' -From the Preface.

Download or read book Shakespearean Constitutions written by Jonathan Bate and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first serious study of Shakespeare's pervasive presence in English cultural life in the 18th and early 19th centuries, this work examines how during times of political stress both "establishment" and "radical" culture tend to compete for possession of the national poet. In a groundbreaking analysis, Bate reveals this process at work in the brilliant political satires of Gillray, the Cruikshanks and other caricaturists, and in the performances and interpretation of the plays of the period, including such phenomena as Garrick's Jubilee and Boydell's picture gallery. At the very heart of the argument is Hazlitt, bringing Shakespeare to bear on contemporary life, responding to Edmund Kean in the theater, and developing radically new readings of the plays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cult of Shakespeare The Cult of Shakespeare is a survey (not over-solemn, I hope) of the fortunes of Shakespeare from the time of his death to the present day; an account of the rise of bardolatry and the more frenzied excesses of the devotees of his cult: of the liberties that have been taken with his work and the follies that have been committed in his name. Few people, I think, are fully aware of this history and of the power of the spell that the great name has exercised throughout the centuries. Yet, when the Stuarts were restored to the throne in 1660 there was no magic in the name. Even before the theatres were closed in I Shakespeare had been overshadowed by Beaumont and Fletcher and Ben Jonson, and when they were reopened at the Restoration he was remembered not very vividly as a once-popular dramatist Who wrote before the age of enlightenment. His plays as they Stood were unacceptable to an age polished by its contact with France, but, as there was a dearth of new drama after twenty years Without demand, they might be made to serve if skilfully adapted. And so we get the refined classical versions of Davenant, those strange outrageous hybrids with which the modern popularity of Shakespeare began. The refining process was continued by Dryden, Tate, Cibber and others, until at the beginning of the Georgian era poets and scholars began to return to what Shakespeare had really written, and to wrangle about the restora tion of his text. The pope-theobald-warburton-hanmer squabble is not the least diverting episode in this history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
